    If you are running a Symantec product, I would start with downloading the latest Rapid Release definitions.

    Next, boot into safe mode and running a Disk Cleanup (right-click the C drive, Properties, Disk Cleanup) - that will delete all the files that are in these temporary locations, as well as IE's temporary files, etc. Perform a full system scan in safe mode.
    If that fails to detect and remove the threats, there are some useful tools that are provided by Symantec for help with finding those hard to detect threats.


    1. The Power Eraser Tool eliminates deeply embedded and difficult to remove threats that traditional virus scanning doesn't always detect.


    2. The SERT (Symantec Endpoint Recovery Tool) is useful in situations where computers are too heavily infected for the Symantec Endpoint Protection client installed upon them to clean effectively.

    3. The Load point Analysis Tool generates a detailed report of the programs loaded on your system. It is helpful in listing common loadpoints where threats can live.

    If you are unable to remove the threat(s) from your systems, please submit the suspected files to Symantec or ThreatExpert for analysis. New signatures will be created and included in future definition sets for detection.

    It would help to have some additional information.  Which exact version of SEP are you running, with which components, and is it on a server, workstation, etc?

    Following these recommendations will help: http://www.symantec.com/business/theme.jsp?themeid=stopping_malware&depthpath=0

    what is the location of the file detected?

    If it is system volume information, then the SEP will not take any action.

    virus issue 

    Login to SEPM console machine and check the settings once and 

    check wether server and client machine get with latest update are not

    if not update with latest update

    Remove the network and  give full scane for all the machines from console 

    delete all temp files and cookies and historys once full scane is completed restart the machine and check it once

    if you find aney new virus is running in your machine take sample of that and submit to symantec.
