Configuring Scheduled Update Parent topic

Configure ScanMail to regularly check the update server and automatically download any available components. During a scheduled update, ScanMail checks the user specified download source for the latest components.

Tip
During times of outbreaks, Trend Micro responds quickly to update pattern files (updates can be issued more than once each week). Trend Micro also regularly updates the scan engine and other components. Trend Micro recommends updating components daily - or even more frequently in times of outbreaks - to help ensure ScanMail has the latest components.
