The OfficeScan™ ToolBox is a plug-in program that functions as a framework which manages and deploys a variety of standalone Trend Micro tools. This framework triggers logging, and consolidates logs. The ToolBox leverages the client tree hierarchy of the OfficeScan server to remotely deploy these tools on clients managed by the OfficeScan server.

Administrators can silently deploy and log the operations of these standalone tools on clients. Each tool addresses a specific security or network concern. Detailed information regarding the function and use of a tool is available in a readme file that the ToolBox downloads with the tool.

After the ToolBox has successfully deployed a tool, administrators can choose to send all or part of the information gathered by the tool to Trend Micro for analysis. Trend Micro uses the information garnered from the analysis to develop new solutions that address the constantly changing threat landscape for all Trend Micro customers.
