    What are the softwares installed in this PC?
    Only SEP client?
    Are you installed SEP Manager also in this PC?
    What is the approx. space consumed by these tmp files?

    Posted Jun 10, 2010 02:44 AM
    Yes, only SEP client.

    As the tmp files are generating almost every 2~3 minutes, it is eating up the HDD space.
    The file size of these FLTxxxx.tmp files varies from 1KB ~ 105MB.


    another sample content of the FLTxxxx.tmp file:

    This tool will replace the Sylink.xml file on the Symantec client to allow the
    client to talk to a different manager.  To use this tool simply run the
    SylinkDrop executable.  Then select the new Sylink file by clicking the Browse
    button.  Click the Update Sylink button to update the Sylink file with the
    selected file.  Also, SylinkDrop can be run with arguments as listed below.

    This tool will work with SSE and SEP versions 3.5, 4.1, 5.x and 11.0.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The syntax of this command is:
      SylinkDrop [-silent] [-p password] [SylinkFile]
      -silent   Hide user interface
      -p          Use this argument if Smc requires a password to stop
          password   Password to stop Smc
      [SylinkFile]   Specifies drive, path, and filename of the sylink.xml file
     
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Return values:
     1 = Program aborted by user
     0 = Successfully replaced Sylink file
    -1 = Error replacing Sylink file
    -2 = Unrecognized argument

    Remove SEP
    Delete following folders if present
    C:\Program Files\Symantec
    C:\Program Files\Symantec AntiVirus
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec
     
    Also delete following reg keys
    HKLM\Software\symantec
    HKCU\Software\symantec
    Install SEP and try..

    have you enabled sylink dropper or any executable as batch/job scheduler? If yes, can you disable and see if it goess will with you.

    Is there a way to determine if  sylink dropper had been enabled?

    can you check if sylinkdropper.exe is running in taskmanager, verify the other exes as well.

    so the problem was MS Indexing ...
    but it keeps "indexing"  SEP files ONLY...  weird..
    some conflict i guess?

    Thank you very much guys for your advise and assistance.
    Greatly appreciated.
