OfficeScan Corporate Edition and ServerProtect are antivirus products that protect desktop machines and network servers respectively. Both are composed of:
Client applications that perform the actual antivirus function
A management server (Information Server for ServerProtect; OfficeScan Server for OfficeScan) for controlling the clients
The management server serves as the update server for its clients. It contains the different incremental update patterns, as well as the full pattern, and the different scan engines required by the following client platforms:
Windows XP/2000/NT Professional
Windows Me/98/95
Windows 2003/2000/NT
Novell™ NetWare™
When Control Manager deploys updates to these products, it is actually deploying complete update sites � incremental update technology is not used. As a result, updating these products is comparatively more resource intensive than other Trend Micro products.
The following table shows the size of the updates deployed to these products. File sizes are approximations (as at December 2003).
