QuestionForefront Client Security hits positive on Mailfrontier-SonicWall email security tmp file

    Hello,

     

    Forefront Client Security is finding a virus in a temp folder on my Windows Server 2003 - Standard, running Mailfrontier sonic wall email security here:

     

    "Path Found: file:C:\WINDOWS\Temp\kp19A3.tmp"

     

    and identifying a process as running it, that is located here:

     

    "Process Name: C:\Program Files\MailFrontierEG\PluginDefault\policy\verity\bin\kvoop.exe"


    SonicWall ask that  "C:\Program Files\MailFrontierEG\" be excluded from virus scans. Recently Forefront has been finding this virus in the temp folder, and it never has done that before.

    Is this proper practice for SonicWall Email security to temporarily store a virus in the temp folder while it deletes it? Or is this a possible vulnerability? Has anyone else seen anything like this on thier email virus scanning servers?

     

    Thanks,

     

    Dan

    It's actually fairly common for AV to have some type of temp folder that it may use to unarchive contents of .zip's .cabs .rars etc while scanning
