When the files were originally quarantined, they were compressed and encrypted to ensure that the stored version cannot continue to infect the local computer. Consequently, the Symantec Endpoint Protection client must extract the original file s from this quarantine packaging before it can be re-scanned.

During this file extraction process, a temporary file named DWHxxxx. In newer versions of Normally, this temporary file will not be scanned by the Symantec Endpoint Protection Auto-Protect function because Symantec Endpoint Protection is already handling the file, i.

Symantec Endpoint Protection knows that it owns the file. However, if a third-party process accesses that file while it is being created, the Symantec Endpoint Protection Auto-Protect function will intercept this file access and will declare the file as untrusted because another process, possibly malicious, had accessed the file.

This will cause the file to be seen as a new file and untrusted. Accordingly, the file will be scanned. This results in an already quarantined and infected file getting rescanned. Additionally, it will be treated as a suspect file and quarantined, resulting in a duplicate file being added to the local quarantine. Finally, as each definition set is received by the Symantec Endpoint Protection client and the local quarantine is rescanned, the above process repeats, and the contents of the local quarantine are doubled.
