Hi All-- Symantec enterprise suddenly started classifying these two executables, unchanged for months, as virus threats and quarantined them. Scanning the Uwin installer exe does not yield results, but as soon as the installer is run, awk and bc are removed as threats. telnet.exe is also missing, but I never received a notice that it was a threat.
This began happening on either Monday, 23 May or Tuesday, 24 May. I believe there was a Symantec virus definition update around that time. This is fairly irritating, as corporate security is unwilling to question the word of Symantec. "Ticket: closed. Resolution: Please find an alternate implementation." I'm not the only one on the network to suffer this problem. Are others out there experiencing this? How about home users of Symantec AV?
