This issue has been solved. See solution.

Hi,

        In my organization Symantec Server (SEPM 11.0.4000.2295) is used.

        But every day symantec shows W32.Downadup.B virus on same repeted clients (near about 20 clients) & also shows Actual action (taken by SEP) is Cleaned by deletion.
 
        Why SEP shows same virus on same clients every day.

        Plz guide how i can resolve this problem.

And also one another problem is SEP shows W32.Downadup.B & Trojan Horse virus infection in d:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/Symantec/Symantec Endpoint Protection/xfer/4a5968f1.tmp folder, and shows Actual action (taken by SEP) is Quarantined.

      Plz guide for how to fix this problem.

Thanks,

Kailas

2 diffrent issues

These are 2 diffrent issue.
if the detction in Xfer folder you need to delete all TMP folder in that location and everything inside quarantine folder.
For downadup.B are these computer updated with all security patches up to date not just one related to Downadup.
Run a full scan in safe with Rapid Release.

hi, But every day symantec

hi,

But every day symantec shows W32.Downadup.B virus on same repeted clients (near about 20 clients) & also shows Actual action (taken by SEP) is Cleaned by deletion.

SInce the action taken is deleted, I believe these syste,s are protected, there is/are other syste,m which is infected and spreading the threat. YOu may need to look for such system, one way of approaching to find the infected machine is using the risktracer, risttracer will point to the source machine , you may need to repair that system.

And also one another problem is SEP shows W32.Downadup.B & Trojan Horse virus infection in d:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/Symantec/Symantec Endpoint Protection/xfer/4a5968f1.tmp folder, and shows Actual action (taken by SEP) is Quarantined.
Its safe to remove the tmp files within quranatine folder.

Cheers
Pete
