Updating Outbreak Prevention Policies

It is important to use the latest Outbreak Prevention Policies to protect your network during virus outbreaks. Update Outbreak Prevention Policies both manually or set a scheduled update.

To Update Outbreak Prevention Policies Manually:

Click Services on the main menu.
On the left-hand menu under Services, click Outbreak Prevention. This page automatically refreshes to make sure the top threat and status information is current.
On the working area under Service Status, click Update Now to download the latest Outbreak Prevention Policies.
Click OK twice after downloading the Outbreak Prevention Policies.

To avoid additional maintenance tasks, schedule Control Manager to automatically check for and download the latest Outbreak Prevention Policies.

After installing Control Manager for the first time, Trend Micro strongly recommends you perform an Update Now to update your policies immediately. For subsequent updates, use the Scheduled Update function.

To Schedule Updates to Outbreak Prevention Policies:

Access the Outbreak Prevention Services Settings screen.
On the working area, click the Download tab.
Under Scheduled policy download settings, select the Enable scheduled policy update check box.
From the Download frequency list, choose the number of minutes for Control Manager to check for updated Outbreak Prevention Policies.
Under Download source, click the source that contains the latest Outbreak Prevention Policies. By default, this is the Trend Micro ActiveUpdate server. If you choose another Internet source, type the location in Other update source.
Click Save.
Click OK.
