I may as well uninstall the Symantec Endpoint Protection since it couldn’t update the virus definition to detect the latest virus and replace it with a free antivirus such as Avira, Avast, AVG or Microsoft Security Essentials.

It is possible that the Symantec Endpoint Protection is installed as an unmanaged client but the virus definition hasn’t been updated for a very long time and I couldn’t manually update the signature from the LiveUpdate program. I checked his computer and there is an enterprise version of antivirus called Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) installed but there were no Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager which acts as a server to manage the SEP clients on the network. If you have any other issues let me know.An old friend contacted me today and asked me to help him to remove a virus infection on his desktop. With windows 7, be sure you make necessary changes and then restart the computer before giving it a try. With all of these settings correct there should not be any firewall issues or any programs to worry about. If you have any question on the procedure for doing that, feel free to send me a message. If you do that you will need to make sure you set the ip addresses to static.

If you can't get smb with these settings using computer names, switch the network paths to the ip address, for example \\192.168.1.25\foldername (file://\\192.168.1.25\foldername). If you have all these setting correct you should be fine. Select: Enable file sharing for devices that use 40- or 56 bit encription Sharing so anyone with network access can read and write files should be ON Then go to the network and sharing center, go to advanced sharing settings,

You will also need to add the user (Everyone) to the folders permissions with FUll Control. If it is Pro or higher, make sure your folder is shared with full control. Since then they have patched networking with updates and it simply will not work. First, is it windows 7 Professional or higher? When windows 7 first came out, you could smb scan on winv 7 home. If you check the following setting you should be good to go. It looks to me that this is being made way to complicated.
