Issue:
After a scheduled scan of Client Security or Server Security host, Policy Manager Console Alerts page's description field shows "Malicious code found in file. No action taken"
Resolution:
If the infections without any action taken are either items inside an compressed archive (ZIP, RAR, 7z, CAB) or temporary files, scan engine will not extract the file from archive just to deleted instead it will be reported as infected and no action taken. In case of temporary files it could be that item was already removed by system when the engine tried to delete it.
You can also open the full scanning report and check of the following is shown for the file: "Skipped - potentially unwanted applications are not removed automatically"
WithSecure endpoint protection software does not automatically remove Potentially Unwanted Applications. It will detect them but the decision to remove and the actions are left for the administrator.
