is available below.

Scan Type
Options
Security Risk Scan
Conventional Scan:
Select the scan method used in previous ScanMail versions.
All components used for security risk scans are stored locally on
the ScanMail server.
Smart Scan - File Reputation service:
Select the next-generation, in-the-cloud protection solution. At
the core of this solution is an advanced scanning architecture that
leverages threat signatures that are stored in the cloud. Install
Smart Protection Servers on your network to further increase scan efficiency.
Web Reputation Services
Smart Protection Network:
Sends all web reputation queries to Trend Micro servers
for verification.
Smart
Protection Server: Verifies all web reputation queries locally.
If the local server cannot verify the queries, the server sends
them to Trend Micro servers
for further analyses.
Do not make external
queries to Smart Protection Network: Restricts the local
server from sending web reputation queries to Trend Micro servers.
Note
For
Smart Protection Servers version 2.5 (or later), querying the Smart
Protection Network is disabled. These Smart Protection Servers operate
in Privacy mode. For details, see the Smart Protection Server
Administrator’s Guide.
