This section discusses how to update components in the integrated Smart Scan Server. For details on updating components in a standalone server, see the Trend Micro Smart Scan for OfficeScan Getting Started Guide.
The Smart Scan Server downloads the Smart Scan Pattern. Clients verify potential threats against the pattern by sending scan queries to the Smart Scan Server. Clients do not download the Smart Scan Pattern.
The other pattern used in the smart scan solution, called Smart Scan Agent Pattern, is hosted on the client update source (the OfficeScan server or a Customized Update Source) and downloaded by clients.
Trend Micro updates the Smart Scan Pattern hourly. Like the OfficeScan server, the Smart Scan Server also uses a mechanism called component duplication that allows faster downloads of the pattern file. See Server Component Duplication for more information.
