    Do you see the notification in the SPM as well? Have you checked the logs on the mail server?

    What was the action of the SEP (AV) on the infection, is it quarantined, deleted, left alone?

    Double check also the Risk Log on the client side.

    Sorry, What is the SPM do you mean?, We use SAV version 10.0 in my network.

    Thanks & Regards,

    Dear Kailas,

    We do it these steps to clean our network from the downadup virus :

    1. Disable autorun services in all PCs, you can follow the instruction from this link to disable services from your server:
        
        http://www.labnol.org/software/tutorials/secure-computer-disable-autorun/6698/

    2. Run the security update windows to All client and server pc, you can download from this link :

        http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS08-067.mspx

    3. Confirm that your virus definition is update for all server and client pc.

    4. Run the full scan for all server and client pc.

    Regards,

    Dear Paul,

    I'm sorry for late reply, i was checked the symantec antivirus, i wonder with that, i found diffrent log (risk log, history log,
    and event log) when i login as administrator and user, we cannot find the action for dowadup.b in user log but in admin log we can see completely, and in admin log it said that the virus action is quaratined, but when i checked it i cannot find it.

    I'm not sure about the last file, but the first 2 definitely came from the internet. If you can see which sites a user visits and test them, you'll get the infection alert.
    It will be quarantined but the file will reappear whenever the user visits that site with the infected files.

    Sorry, I was thinking that this was a SEP 11 case.
