What do I do if my Windows SEP is not at the patched version or not installed? You have nothing further to do for this system. If your SEP is that version or higher, you are secure and can go ahead and close all of those open windows. You can refer to the screenshot below for reference. For your system to be secure it should show the version as 12.1.6 (12.1 RU6 MP5) with a minimum build of at least 7004.

You should see a screen that looks similar to the one below. Right-click on the SEP icon and select “Open Symantec Endpoint Protection”
