QuestionForeFront removal reports

    We've been getting lots of emailed reports from ForeFront lately to do with conficker, the report says

    Description:  Client Security failed to eliminate the following threat:

                - Threat name: Worm:Win32/Conficker.B!inf

                - Attempted action: Remove

    However when we visit the PC in its history it has successfully removed.  One one occasion we found successfully removed but using the DART disc the virus was still there.

    We're a bit sensitive about conficker here and any help on why the reports differ from the information on the client machine would be appreciated.

    Do you still have Exchange 2000?  Looking to upgrade to Exchange 2010?  Read how.

    When you take a look at the client what are the specific event ID's you seem to be getting around the time the detection occurred and the "supposed" failed removal?
