The numbers in the Computers still infected report never seem to go down.

So even after a computer is cleaned it is still show in this report.   How can I fix this?

There are machine in the report that we fixed 3 months ago.  With those same old dates.

In the Report it says:"Infected events flag computers as infected. Once you have verified that a computer is not infected, you can clear the infected status of the computer on the Computer Status Logs page."

"Still Infected" Status

Could you Please tell which version of  SEP is installed .
If you are using any version below SEP MR4 , then please Upgrade to Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 MR 4 (Maintenance Release 4) or newer.

Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console Home shows "Still Infected" count even though all infections were cleared in the Computer Status log

hi camaroguy do as david says

hi camaroguy

do as david says to clear Still Infected status in the sepm console. but my suggestion would be to monitor those logs like just keep a copy of todays still infected log and clear the log as said above the tommrow see the logs again and match with the old one saved. whether any pc appeariing again as still infected and does the file name infected is same if yes then visit the client and browse that file and delete it manually. if possible just scan the pc in safe mode. and monitor the logs again next day for that pc whether it shows still infected again or not.

 Why does this have to be

 Why does this have to be cleared manually?!?!?

Don't PC's send their 'cleaned' status back to the console/database?

This is due to database

This is due to database entries marked for deletion, but included in query that calculates "Still Infected" count. The database is not purged automatically so we have to clear it manually.

This issue addressed in Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 MR 4 (Maintenance Release 4) and newer
