To ensure that clients stay protected from the latest security risks, update client components regularly. Also update clients with severely out-of-date components and whenever there is an outbreak. Components become severely out-of-date when the client is unable to update from the Trend Micro Security server or the ActiveUpdate server for an extended period of time.
In addition to components, Trend Micro Security clients also receive updated configuration files during updates. Clients need the configuration files to apply new settings. Each time you modify Trend Micro Security settings on the Web console, the configuration files change.
Before updating the clients, check if the Trend Micro Security server has the latest components. For information on how to update the Trend Micro Security server, see Server Update.
Trend Micro Security clients can use proxy settings during an update. Proxy settings are configured on the client console.
There are several ways to update clients.
Server-initiated update: You can initiate an update from the Web console by navigating to Client Management > Tasks > Update.
Automatic update: After the server finishes an update, it immediately notifies clients to update.
Manual update: Users launch the update from their Macintosh computers.
During an update, The Trend Micro Security icon on the menu bar of the Macintosh computer indicates that the product is updating. If an upgrade to the client program is available, clients update and then upgrade to the latest program version or build. Users cannot run any task from the console until the update is complete.
Access the Summary screen to check if all clients have been updated.
