  • 1.  one particular virus exe not detected by SEP

    Posted Aug 22, 2013 06:08 AM

    Hello,

      In one USB drive, one managed SEP 12.x is not able to detect and quarantine malicious file QJHtQmCmXXcqbsB.exe. However, when I checked the USB drive in another PC (self-managed SEP), it was able to detect and quarantine that particular exe file. All defintions for both SEPs are same (versions also same). Please suggest.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Symantec community.

    Could you please upload the risk log where SEP is able to detect & quarantine the risk.

    Is there any difference between those two machines? OS difference? Applications etc?

    In the SEPM, check if you have a scan exception set for the drive letter of the pen drive in the 'Centralized Exceptions" policy applied to the concerned managed client.

    If it is excluded from scanning, you may remove the exception and then scan the pen drive again.
