Hi guys,       I tryed install SEP 11 in netbook running Windows 7 but it returns a error message about "Processor not Supported".       The netbook is a Microboard one with Atom 1.6 and 2GB RAM. Witch such configuration I think that any AV should work. McAfee Enterprise do.       If SEP 11 doesn't run with Atom, Symantec's web page is out-of-date. There stats EXCEPT Itanium, all Intel processors are supported (and I think Atom is a Intel processor).       Have anyone of you SEP running on a netbook? If so wich version should I install. Thank you all. James.

Keep getting this message every 20 minutes or so. I scanned with SEP and it picked up nothing, additionally I've used about 5-7 other programs to try and fiure it out, and nadda. If there is something on my computer and it knows it's there, why is SEP blocking it and not attempting to get rid of it?

re: Symantec Endpoint Protection has detected that there are pending system changes that require a reboot.. For this either you restart the system or delete the registry key for pendingfilerenameoperations I have no registry key named: "pendingfilerenameoperations" only a key named filerenameoperations which I deleted and that did not work. Rebooting does not work.  There are no pending operations I know of.

http://www.zdnet.com.au/blogs/securifythis/soa/Why-popular-antivirus-apps-do-not-work-/0,139033343,139264249,00.htm Why Ingram micro who sells symantec product says symantec doesn't detect 80% threat.The link is above and below is the content on the link Why popular antivirus apps 'do not work' Posted by Munir Kotadia @ 16:38 77 comments Antivirus applications from Symantec, McAfee or Trend Micro -- the three leading AV vendors in 2005 -- are far less likely to detect new viruses and Trojans than the least popular brands. This has nothing to do with the quality of the software or how long it takes the respective firms to update their clients with signatures and other malware countermeasures. AV companies continue to refine their products and most will tell you they stopped relying on purely signature-based systems many years ago. These days they use all sorts of clever methods to try and detect suspicious behaviour but the problem is that malware authors are also very clever. Very,...

Hi, As the title says, i would like to update policies manually on a managed client, is that possible? Just to make it clear i will describe the situation: there is a computer installed as a managed client so that he will get device control policies and more. then we unplugged the computer from the network so that we could experiment on the computer (including infecting the computer with viruses), now we would like to change policies on the comptuer but there is 80% chance that the computer is infected and i do not wish to infect the entire network. is there a way that its possible (with administrative rights of course)? now about an unmanaged computer, most of the SEP functionalities are un-available in the unmanaged mode, is there a way to alter the SEP Client and use managed propeties on the Unmanaged client? Thanks. Naor .p.

Hello Folks   We are in testing Phase of Symantec 11.0 . When we compare that with the SAV Corp it has some more features. I want to know about NTP and PTP? I tried to find   knowledge base but was not able to get that exact and appropriate information. What ever information I could get it seems that NTP is the firewall . But I need some more information on the same. Thanks in Advance

I am wanting to migrate my SEPM database from SQL 2005 to a SQL 2008 database. Is there any documentation online that shows the steps to migrate the database?

Hi all I am evaluating SEP Suite for the purpose of a customer of mine. This customer is receiving huge amount of spam and virus.Symantec does a good job on stopping both risks but not with the archiving folder on exchange 2003. I would like to know if there is any different procedure to filter all mail that is saved on exchange 2003 archive mailbox as i dont know why all spam messages are not going to junk folder. Thanks George

it reads "Unsolicited incoming ARP reply detected, this is a kind of MAC spoofing that may consequently do harm to your computer" ive done a few tracert reports and didnt see any alarm there.  I am also on a wireless network and my question is could this be the network im on "bridging" trying to find my IP address causing the Message above? and should this be any concern for alarm?

My Domain server has this problem 2 weeks ago. it worked fine before. About every one day, the DC server will automatically create user's profile under "document and setting" in server. No roaming profile was set. when we have this problem, we cannot access the shared folder in server. Restart the server solve it temporary but about 10 hours later, same problem come again. I searched the solutions for this problem, some one suggested uninstall symantec, so I stopped all symantec service in DC server, and seems the problem fixed. we use symantec antivirus version 10.1.5.5002. any one know how to fix it? Any suggestion would be appreciated.. Thanks, Ant

All week I've been fighting with a persistant pop up that's been accompanying repeated "Packaged Generic 214" and "Trojan Vundo" blocks by my SEP. I've enabled multiple pop-up blockers, tried Firefox and IE 8, and have scanned numerous times in safe mode, in regular mode, with system restore turned on and turned off (per advice from link at SEP Antivirus Protection Log PDF attached). Anyone else have this experience? Any advice how to resolve? TIA!

Antivirus client should never allow to mark a message as "Sent"  by user EMail client BEFORE EMailScanner sucessfully sent it.

Is there a way to select which SEPMs can be used to download updates? We have a total of 6 SEPM's but I only want two SEPMs to download updates from the Internet.  Then the other SEPMs can receive updates from the content downloaded from the SEPM, which grab updates from the Internet. The other SEPMs have slow Internet connections. We are running SEP 11 MR4 MP2. Thanks.

When installing Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0, some stations have the network threat protection installed and some don't. Did I do something wrong while installing these?

So I've created several installation packages, one for each group. When I created them I selected only Antivirus and Antispyware as my components. I moved the packages to different servers for deployment. I'm using GPOs to push them out so the packages are .msi files. The software loads one the PCs ok but it loads all the components. It loads the network threat protection and the proactive threat protection, and I don't want them! I'm running 11.0.4 If I manually run the packages then all the components are set to be installed, I have to do a custom installation and remove what I don't want. Any clues?

replication between two sites is incremental or copies the whole database everytime replication happens.

Although I have disabled all the client configurations once an end user clicks into the configure settings buttons on the change settings page, I would like to see all these options disabled and grayed out like the Network Threat Protection is. I see no reason for the click-aholics to be able to even browse into those buttons.
