    Note
    After rolling back the OfficeScan client, all components, including the Virus Pattern, also roll back to the previous version. If administrators do not roll back the OfficeScan server, the rolled-back OfficeScan client cannot update components. Administrators must change the update source of the rolled-back OfficeScan client to the standard update source to receive further component updates.
