Deep Edge uses ActiveUpdate, the Trend Micro utility that enables on-demand or background updates to the virus pattern file and scan engine, spyware or grayware pattern files. ActiveUpdate is a service common to many Trend Micro products. ActiveUpdate connects to the Trend Micro Internet update server to enable downloads of the latest pattern files and engines. ActiveUpdate does not interrupt network services, or require endpoints to reboot. Updates are available on a regularly scheduled interval that administrators can configure, or on demand.
