IntelliTrap is a Trend Micro heuristic technology used to discover threats that use
real-time compression paired with other malware characteristics
like Packers. This covers virus/malware, worms, trojans,
backdoors and bots. Virus writers often attempt to circumvent
virus/malware filtering by using different file compression
schemes. IntelliTrap is a real-time, rule-based, and pattern
recognition scan engine technology that detects and removes
known virus/malware in files compressed up to 17 layers deep
using any of 16 popular compression types.

NoteIntelliTrap uses the same scan engine as virus scanning.
As a result, the file handling and scanning rules for IntelliTrap
are the same as administrator-defined rules for virus scanning.
