SEP infected, losing 100 gigs of space...
Updated: 22 May 2010 | 1 comment
Hello,
I have a problem. I have 2 machines, that are eating DiskSpace like no tomorrow. Currently indicating over 30,000 infected files+
The problem is the location of the files that are infected are in the following location:
"\documents and settings\all users\application data\symantec\symantec endpoint protection\xfer"
all the temp files in here are infected and spreading/reproducing like wildfire.
The quarantine folder is equally full, and there is too much in here to delete. Formatting right now, not a viable option, unless absolutely necessary.

Closing my own thread.
I created an NFS share of the drive of the machine where the profile was located.
Mounted it to a Linux machine, less probability of infection.
Went to the correct directory where M$ explorer failed countless times and ran an:
"rm -rf *"
All cleared up and I have my 100 gigs back. But whats the bug and why is eating at Symantec???
I guess when it pops later, I'll try to submit something to you Sym.
Would you like to reply?
