I've tried repairing, uninstalling/reinstalling but the result is the same where you get that generic message that the client isn't protected until it gets virus defs. I have a fresh install of Windows Server 2016 Standard where loading the latest SEP 14.0.1 MP2 as an 'unmanaged' client isn't downloading the virus definitions for some reason. Is there a policy I can tweak and push out in SEPM to stop those from popping up, as opposed to visiting every machine to tweak a setting? Users don't need to see the popups frequently though. How do we disable those popups, especially for a regular user? I don't mind getting reminded that the network attack issue is happening myself. Everyone started mentioning that they kept seeing those pop up. That is actually what caught our attention at first. If you're using your computer when it gets attacked, Symantec puts up the little yellow notification. How we disable those from popping up? It looks like 3-4 times per day something is sweeping through ip addresses.

I just have to put up with someone else's apparently infected machines trying attack mine. The infected machines are outside my area though, outside my control. We're working with other IT security people. In the SEPM network attack logs we can see them and there are a lot more over the last few weeks. Those logs are really buried.)Ĭurrently my area is 'under attack.' Symantec is fending them off.

Having something attack isn't a huge surprise. We had seen them occasionally in the past. Please help to do some research on it, please comment freely if more information is needed. I'm not sure what's happening, there was the pachage in upgrade list but failed to download it, and 2 hours later the auto upgrade was back to normal and downloaded the package successfully. A file not found error happened when the SPE Virus Definitions auto upgrade job downloading Norton AntiVirus Definitions package.
