Hello all,

since today we are also obviously hit by MSE.

What has happened? An Admin called this morning, telling that the update he
installed over the existing install doesn't work anymore, all of a sudden.

He testified that the program has worked okay before.

So he granted access to his machine via Teamviewer and I could see that that
three TPS and one DLL were simply mising. (that DLL was code-signed!)

While I was scratching my head how this could have happened, he (for what
reason ever) opened MS Security Essentials.

Then I told him that I have heard about reports from the colleagues here in the
forum, so that I have installed MSE on my machine also, but without getting
harmed so far.

"Well, you will probably have installed the publiclly downloadable MSE, I
suppose." he said. "We use MS Security Essentials Forefront-Endpoint."

Which leads to to the question: with what version do you run into trouble?

Anyway, I gave him the advice to exclude TPS, but as that code-signed DLL has
diminished too, I suggested to better exclude the entire directory branch.

I hope to hear from him again in a couple of days, whether this mysterious
behaviour happened again - I will report.

bye
Wolfgang
