    Hi,

    I know this is an Enterprise question but I can't recall if I should raise Enterprise issues here or not :doubt:

    We're getting daily notifications about this file: C:\windows\temp\spnserv.dat. The PX5 is this: 70a0d1fc00b8306f048e005450fc4a00a69e83d5

    I've added an override entry in the PrevX Console on our server and the "determination" (o_O) shows as "G". Yet the daily "you are infected" reports keep highlighting this file.

    Incidentally the file concerned is only about 1Kb and when I open it in a hex editor it contains nothing but 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 .......

    Please can someone advise:

    1) why the override isn't working
    2) Why a file containing all 00 00 00 is triggered


    Many thanks!



    Jim

    The file you're seeing is definitely an executable, it may have been deleted or changed before but I've fixed the determination now so if you run another scan, it should now come up clean :)
