i have encounter a problem on SEP 11, all the .dll and .exe file under the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared is converted to 0.tmp, 1.tmp, 2.tmp and so on.
when i copy the original files from other computer and paste it, the SEP 11 will run again properly, but the problem keep on returning, it will be changed again to .tmp files causing the SEP to not run.
any one encountered the same problem?
please help...

Perform an Upgrade

In fact I would suggest you that you can try upgrading to the latest version of SEP i.e. RU5 and then check whether this issue reoccurs.

You can download the latest version from

https://fileconnect.symantec.com/licenselogin.jsp?...

Thanks & Regards Sandip C Sali

Have you tried calling in and

Have you tried calling in and making a case on this issue yet? If you do post your case number so we can follow it. You said earlier that you did a full scan and w32.blackmal.e@mm was dected and deleted, but to me it sounds like you are still infected. What happens when you try another scan in safe mode with system restore off? If you are seeing the same virus again you are probably getting re-infected by another computer on your network or by some hidden process your computer can't see. I would try the full scan again and see what comes up. If you see the same virus, then disconnect it from the network and then clean it and see if it comes back. If it doens't then you have to assume that you are being reinfected by another computer on your network. If the scan comes up clean then I would call in and make a case to see what phone support can do for you.

Hope this helps
Grant
