    I having the error as below in my client management log.
     
    "Unsolicited incoming ARP reply detected, this is a kind of MAC spoofing that may consequently do harm to your computer. 
     
    Packet data is shown in the right window."
     
    Does that mean someone on that computer is spoofing my MAC or virus ?

    I read the fix ald.

    I have updated my SEP server also.

    My concern is that means actual MAC spoofing attack or just window 7 error.

    I am using window 7 64 bit that IP address which is  MAC spoofing is window xp.

    The Sep client version is 11.

     

    Source is one of our LAN IP
    Active Response that started at 01/04/2011 12:21:11 is disengaged. The traffic from IP address IP add was blocked for 600 second(s).

    the way it is highlighted it is MAC attack. Since the SEP is throwing the notification. Whether by disabling the check, notfication will not be shown ( for test purpose only)

    For sake of security, I would isolate the machine from the production network and run a full scan, preferably with SERT Tool:
