I'm currently running SEP11 on my own machine. I want to add my machine to my test group for Forefront Client Security. Does Forefront cleanly remove SEP? (I'm thinking not, but figured I'd ask) or do I need to manually uninstall, and hope I can clean all the cruft left behind? Nope, it

I’ve only heard through the grapevine, colleagues supporting clients other than mine had to leave a conference call due to DAT issues with 5958, I don’t know if it was shutdowns or reboots, and/or different for servers and EUCs … which is why I asked. Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems,

This is nasty. It's putting the svchost.exe in quarantine and causing the system to bomb. When the system comes back up the taskbar is missing, no network connectivity, half the services aren't running and can't be started. You can't even do a system restore point. Right now we've removed
