Glossary

Clean Failed

The virus and spyware protection service could not clean or delete the item. This might

 

indicate that the item is in use; if so, close it and attempt the clean again. This might also

 

indicate that the item resides on read-only media, such as a CD. If so, no further action is

 

required. The virus and spyware protection service has prevented the original file from

 

being accessed by the client computer, but it cannot delete the item. Any files copied to the

 

computer have been cleaned. If the item is not in use or on read-only media, further action

 

might be required to ensure the computer is not at risk.
