    We have had 4 laptops come in with the same virus. It is the Win32/FakeRean. Forefront Security Client picks it up and shows it in History as being found. Meanwhile, the virus is still running. Forefront is not automatically removing it. Is there a setting we are missing to remove the virus automatically?

    Thanks, Bill

    Hi Bill,

    Thank you for the post.

    Win32/FakeRean is a active malware and more difficult to remove. If you could obtain the malware sample, please submit it to MMPC.
    Meanwhile, I recommend you use Microsoft Safety Scanner and MSRT(Malicious software removal tool) to full scan your system. Check the Prevention and Recovery(KB2656106) according to the Win32/FakeRean Encyclopedia page.

    If there are more inquiries on this issue, please feel free to let us know.

    Regards
