    Hello.

    I'm having some problems with infections by the W32.Feberr worm.

    It seems that SEP doesn't fully remove this Worm. The removal process on the virus details page only says to update the virus definitions and run a full scan. That doesn't work. It detects the infected files (mostly .tmp files in the user profile temp folder) and move to quarentine. 

    Some day later there is the virus infections again.

    I want to know if there is any other procedure or a removal tool that fully removes this virus.

    Thanks for the help.

     If the virus is getting detected again and again or it is getting re-infected that means.

    Either some computer or media is re-infecting this system ( Flash Drive,CD/DVD or some unpatched infected computer)

    or there are still some file which is not getting detected as a threat and they are redownloading the worm and is infecting.

    have you turned on Autoplay.very first thing to do in case of Worm.

    Clear out all temp folder and temp internet content.

    If you find any suspicious file submit it https://submit.symantec.com/basic

    Thanks for all the replies.

    Just for you know:

    1 - The autorun feature is already disable in all corporate machines throught GPO;

    2 - The autorun.inf files are blocked throught SEP Application and Device Control;

    3 - Already checked infected machines on the known registry and startup entry points, process list and services. Nothing suspicious was found.
