OfficeScan Components and Programs
4-2
OfficeScan makes use of components and programs to keep client computers protected
from the latest security risks. Keep these components and programs up-to-date by
running manual or scheduled updates.
In addition to the components, OfficeScan clients also receive updated configuration
files from the OfficeScan server. Clients need the configuration files to apply new
settings. Each time you modify OfficeScan settings through the Web console, the
configuration files change.
Components are grouped as follows:
• Antivirus Components
• Damage Cleanup Services Components
• Anti-spyware Components
• Firewall Components
• Web Reputation Component
• Behavior Monitoring Components
• Programs

Virus Patterns
The virus pattern available on a client computer depends on the scan method the client
is using. For information about scan methods, see Scan Methods on page 5-8.
Conventional Scan
The pattern used during conventional scan, called Virus Pattern, contains information
that helps OfficeScan identify the latest virus/malware and mixed threat attack. Trend
Micro creates and releases new versions of the Virus Pattern several times a week, and
any time after the discovery of a particularly damaging virus/malware.
Tip: Trend Micro recommends scheduling automatic updates at least weekly, which is the
default setting for all shipped products.
