Is the file sesclu.exe or secLU.exe?.  Sesclu.exe is a process that runs when there is an internal update taken from SEPM

The other obvious explanation (that Sandip was hinting at) is that you may have a virus that has named itself something similar to a process that SEP uses. If i were you I would do a full system scan in safe mode with system restore off.

I just did an entire search of my laptop and found no instance of a file name Secl*.exe

I do however have sesc*.exe as mentioned by sandip_sali.

I think sir you have a virus that SEP just found for you.

There is no virus on the machine. I literally just built this machine and the only programs on it are Windows XP and Symantec Endpoint Protection. Unless Windows embedded a virus in it's own OS there is no possible way for there to be a virus.

This was simply a guinea pig machine I built to deploy a new Endpoint install package to.

And the file name is exactly what I said it was, SecLU.exe which a simple google will tell you is this:

sesclu.exe is a SescLu\r belonging to Symantec Client Management Component\r from Symantec Corporation\r

It's tamper protection, sorry for the lack of clarity.

I will see about disabling this feature.
