They all belong to the same primary group, under the server used for administering Symantec Anti-virus as well as pushing out the new definitions.

I was checking our server this morning and all of the workstations in the group created for Symantec for some unknown reason were showing up as part of an invalid group.<br />
<br />
When I re-checked it later through an RDP session everything looked OK. Is there some reason as to why this would happen as I have not seen this warning before?

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
