W97M/Marker.T Virus found by Forefront on file server

I'm posting this here because I'm not getting any response in the Forefront
forums. (What happened over there? They used to be so responsive? Maybe the
new look) The Forefront client has discovered W97M/Marker.T on one of my file
servers. I've chosen to have it removed by FCS and it's now in a state of
"Taking Actions....". This has been going on for a hour now and the System
Event log is filling up with FCSAM Information events every 15 or so seconds
saying FCS is taking action. How long should I wait for this to finish?

questions......have to love it.....

Sounds like you may be confusing the Forefront newsgroup
(microsoft.public.security.forefront) with the Forefront forums, Sandy =>

EDIT: Maybe not. Looks like those forums were moved in late May but...

Nevermind. I see that you had been using (TechNet) Forefront Forums:
http://forums.microsoft.com/ForeFront/Search/Search.aspx?words=&CSVUserID=MTgwMzYx&SiteID=41

Try the newsgroup?

I've pinged an MS contact for information on where the forums might be
located & accessed now.

Newsgroups are NOT forums.

Hi Sandy!

I used to post alot on the old Forefront forum (and will continue in the new
forefront forum) however i must say that i don't like the new look and feel
of the forum. I used to be on the top answers list (place 1 - 3). Another
thing with the new forum is that it's alot harder to see if there are new
unanswered questions. In the old forum it was easy to get a quick overview.
I promise i'll be more active on the new forum from now on (just got back
from a month of vacation).

Keep the faith Sandy
