symantec endpoint protection 11 (sep11) detects DWH***.tmp as a generic trojan in temp folder

  In some computers the Symantec endpoint protection auto protect will keep on detecting dwh***.tmp files as a generic.trojan in temp folder.

  Even if you delete all the files in Quarantine folder, this message will keep on coming. I finally figured it out, to wipe this message off.

  In this post we will discus about that solution...

   1) Delete all of the .tmp files in c:\windows\temp.

 Then restart your computer.
