CAUSE

This problem occurs because Forefront Security does not handle the updated Kaspersky scan engine correctly.

Kaspersky has released an updated scan engine. This scan engine includes a .Lock file. Forefront Security cannot handle the management of any updates if any file name in the update begins with a period. In this scenario, when Forefront Security tries to delete older updates when newer updates are available, Forefront Security incorrectly determines that any file name that begins with a period is a directory. Therefore, Forefront Security does not delete the file. This behavior causes Forefront Security to leave older engine update folders present when these folders should be deleted. Therefore, Forefront Security does not update the Kaspersky scan engine.
