To keep IM Security updated, you need to download the latest components. Use this page to set the source where IM Security receives the latest components. The default location is the Trend Micro ActiveUpdate server. During manual or scheduled downloads, IM Security checks the location you specify here, and downloads the latest components from that source.

Procedure

  • Trend Micro ActiveUpdate server: Select this option to download from the default update server.
    Trend Micro uploads new components to the ActiveUpdate server as soon as they are available. Select the ActiveUpdate server as a source if you require frequent and timely updates.
  • Intranet location containing a copy of the current file: Select this option to download from an Intranet location.
    Download components from an Intranet source that receives updated components.
    Type the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path of another server on your network.
    Note
    Note
    Setting one or more centralized Intranet locations can greatly reduce network traffic and update time. This option is also useful when you do not want to connect an email server directly to the Internet. Instead, you can connect a front-end server to the Trend Micro ActiveUpdate server on the Internet and then set your back-end servers to receive updates from the front-end server.
  • Other update source: Select this option to specify an update source different from the default. The update source must begin with "http://".
    Download components from an Internet or other source.
    You might choose to receive updates from a special server during testing. For example, when customers participate in Trend Micro beta testing, they type the name of the designated test server.
  • Allow other servers to download updates from this server: Select this option to allow other IM Security servers to download updates from this server.
    Click Allow other servers to download updates from this server to set IM Security to create a duplicate copy of the update package on the current server. Normally, IM Security only downloads components that the user has set it to download or the increments of the components that it needs. When you set IM Security to duplicate the update package, it will download all the components that are available for downloading.
    This option instructs IM Security to download the update package (pattern file and scan engine) onto the IM Security server <root>:\Program Files\Trend Micro\IM Security\ActiveUpdate folder.
