7. Known Issues


The following are the known issues in this release:

Security Agent Deployment, Upgrade, and Usage

Note: For details about installation limitations on certain operating systems, see Security Agent Installation Methods in the Online Help.

  1. To completely reinstall or upgrade the Security Agent, you will need to restart the computer. A restart will also be necessary when updating some components, including the firewall and the proxy drivers.
  2. WFBS supports Remote Desktop, Remote Web Workplace, and Citrix server terminal applications.

    In a Terminal Services environment, administrators can decide whether to show or hide the Security Agent icon in the Windows task bar. This setting applies to all or none of the active user sessions. It is not possible to apply the setting to individual user sessions.

    If the icon shows on all active user sessions, memory usage may increase. To prevent this issue from occurring:

    1. On the Security Agent host, open the registry.
    2. Create/modify the following REG name/value pair:
  3. The manual scan process bar is not fully synchronized to Files scanned count based scan mechanism.

Security Server

  1. The following default Security Server and Scan Server ports must not be used or blocked by other applications, such as Microsoft ISA Server and other firewalls:
  2. If an Internet connection problem occurs during the Security Server installation, the installer will keep trying to validate the Activation Code without indicating any problem or the installer might freeze. A stable Internet connection is required during installation.
  3. During Security Server install/upgrade, Setup.exe or TrustedInstaller.exe may use up to 50% of CPU resources.

Web Console

  1. Trend Micro recommends setting Internet Explorer to Medium or lower security levels when accessing the web console. Higher security settings may block necessary ActiveX controls.

    By default, Internet Explorer applies Medium-low security levels for intranet sites and Medium security levels for sites in its Trusted Sites list. To help ensure you can access the console properly, add it to the Trusted Sites list.

  2. When opening the web console on certain platforms, the ActiveX publisher might appear as unknown because the signature of the certificate cannot be verified. Users can still click OK to proceed with the installation of ActiveX.

Web Reputation/URL Filtering

  1. Browser Exploit Prevention supports Internet Explorer versions 9, 10, and 11.
  2. In an unstable network environment, the Trend Micro Web Reputation server may pass a website without filtering.

Firewall

  1. When uninstalling the firewall driver, the Security Agent could temporarily lose the network connection. Some applications, such as Secure Shell (SSH), Terminal Services Client, or Remote Desktop, could be affected by the disconnection. If this occurs, restart the application after disabling the firewall (which also completes the uninstallation process).
  2. The Security Agent firewall might conflict with other firewall applications. Trend Micro recommends uninstalling or disabling other firewall applications.
  3. On VMware clients, the Security Agent firewall may block all incoming packets. To address this issue, add the following value to the client's registry:

Messaging Security Agent

  1. The Messaging Security Agent only supports typical installations of Exchange Server 2010 and 2013 that include the Hub Transport, the Mailbox, and the Client Access server roles.
  2. Device Access Control for mobile devices is only supported for Exchange 2010 and 2013.
  3. During Messaging Security Agent installation, the installer may be unable to submit passwords that have special, non-alphanumeric characters to the Exchange Server computer. As a result, you may be unable to install the Messaging Security Agent if the domain administrator account you are using has a complex password. To work around this issue, temporarily change the password for the domain administrator account.
  4. When installing the Messaging Security Agent remotely, using the web console or the Worry-Free Business Security Advanced installer on an endpoint running Windows Server 2008, SBS 2008, EBS 2008, SBS 2011 Standard, 2008 R2, 2012, or 2012 R2, you need to specify the built-in domain administrator account because of User Access Control restrictions. Note that for endpoints running other operating systems, you need an account that is in the Exchange Organization Administrators group.

Mac Security

  1. Trend Micro Security (for Mac) becomes inaccessible after upgrading the Security Server from version 8.0 SP1 to 9.5.
  2. Trend Micro Security (for Mac) does not support server installations on Windows Server 2012 or 2012 R2 with domain controller role. This is due to a Microsoft limitation wherein you cannot run SQL Server services on a domain controller under a local service account or a network service account.

Note: For a list of all Trend Micro Security (for Mac) known issues, refer to the readme: http://docs.trendmicro.com/all/ent/tmsm/v2.1/en-us/tmsm_2.1_readme.htm
