Antivirus Software Fails to Quarantine Malware
Hello, we have System Center Endpoint Protection for our antivirus product and we get email alerts when the software detects malware on a client. However we are noticing that occasionally the software "fails" to quarantine some malware. Below is a sanitized example email reporting the failure. As an experiment we have tried giving Everyone full permissions on the infected PST file and then running the scan again but it still fails. We are sure the file is not in use since it is a user who has long since retired. Any tips on how to make SCEP not fail to quarantine? Thanks.
