    The Teefer driver captures all network traffic entering or leaving a particular interface so that the personal firewall in SEP 11.0 can analyze it.

    Then why my clients don't have teffer2 installed in ip properties (not listed there). I only saw once in a client that driver installed no ther clients have it.

     As far as i can tell, it is auto generated by SEP 11. Removal steps are suggested in the same link posted above. Restating them here (Courtesy Sandeep)
    ----------------------------
    Remove the Teefer2 driver
    1. Click Start Settings Control Panel Network Connections.
    2. Click a connection.
    3. In the dialog, click Properties.
    4. Select Teefer2 Driver and click Uninstall.
    5. You will need to repeat these steps for each Network Connection.
    6. Reboot the computer.

    Also delete
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\teefer2.sys
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Teefer2

    My clients are at MR4 and the teefer driver is visible on all of them.   Does that indicate a problem with the installation?

    What is the Teefer2 driver?

    From MR3 onwards the option to disable Teefer2 from Lan Properties has been removed due to security reasons.
    If you still see Teefer2 listed on your LAN Properties and the Client version is MR3 or greater that means there is a problem with installation and you need to redeploy the client on that/those systems.
