Trend Micro recommends
updating the antivirus and content security components to remain
protected against the latest virus and malware threats.
By default, Control Manager enables
download only on components belonging to managed products registered
to the Control Manager server. Control Manager enables virus
pattern download even if no managed products are registered to the Control Manager server.
The following are the components
to update (listed according to the frequency of recommended update).
Available
Components
Pattern
files/Cleanup templates
|
Pattern files/Cleanup templates contain hundreds
of malware signatures (for example, viruses or Trojans) and determine the
managed product's ability to detect and clean malicious file infections
|
Antispam
rules
|
Antispam rules are the Trend Micro-provided files
used for antispam and content filtering
|
Engines
|
Engines refer to virus/malware scan engines, Damage
Cleanup engine, VirusWall engines, the Spyware/Grayware engine and
so on. These components perform the actual scanning and cleaning
functions.
|
|
OfficeScan Plug-in Programs
|
OfficeScan Plug-in Programs (for example, Trend
Micro Security for Mac).
 |
Note
The OfficeScan web
console displays all available Plug-in Programs. You can specify
to download any of them from Control Manager.
However, Control Manager may
not have the downloaded the Plug-in Program. Which means that OfficeScan cannot download the
specified Plug-in Program from Control Manager.
Before
specifying a Plug-in Program for download, from Control Manager to OfficeScan, verify that Control Manager has already downloaded
the Plug-in Program.

Product
programs and widget pool
|
Product-specific components (for example, Service
Pack releases) and the Control Manager widget
pool
|
|
Note
Only registered users are eligible for components update.
To
minimize Control Manager network
traffic, disable the download of components that have no corresponding
managed product.
|
The Component List screen presents a full
list of all components that Control Manager has
available for managed products. The list also matches components
with managed products that use the component. Click to
open the Component List screen.
The Control Manager server
only retains the latest component version. You can trace a component's
version history by viewing root>:\Program Files\Trend Micro\Control
Manager\AU_log\TmuDump.txt entries. TmuDump.txt generates
when ActiveUpdate debugging is enabled.
 |
Tip
To minimize Control Manager network
traffic, disable the download of components that have no corresponding
managed products or services. When you register managed products
or activate services at a later time, be sure to configure the manual
or scheduled download of applicable components.
