    If SEP is not detecting the threat then make sure you submit the Suspicious/Infected files to Symantec Security response so that they can create a definitions for it.

    It was 1 machine so you deleted it and now you are ok , however if it had been 100 machines you can't do that and if you are infected with same threat again you cannot repeat the steps again and again.

    So its just a 1 time pain do submit the files to Symantec

    Thanks Vikram

    Yes it only on 1 machine

    I didn't know about this procedure

    But if I infected with same threat again or any unknown threat I will submit the files to Symantec
