Downloading Updates
We recommend that you regularly download updates from Trend Micro update server
to ensure continued protection. Trend Micro releases new virus pattern files several
times each week. The program and scan engine files, on the other hand, are updated
less frequently.
After downloading updates from the Trend Micro update server, you can designate a
network drive to act as a download source (mirror) for other Information Servers on
your network. This will avoid redundant downloads.
Downloading updates from a network drive is ideal for large networks (such as
intranets) with multiple Information Servers. Before attempting to download update
files from another server, you must make sure the source server has the updated files.
