By default, the Trend Micro ActiveUpdate service in the agent checks for updates hourly.
The ActiveUpdate service provides the latest downloads of virus pattern files, scan engines, and program files through the Internet. ActiveUpdate does not interrupt network services or require you to restart endpoints.
Additionally, the ActiveUpdate service supports incremental updates of pattern files. Rather than downloading the entire pattern file each time, the ActiveUpdate service can download only the portion of the file that is new, and append it to the existing pattern file. This efficient update method can substantially reduce bandwidth needed to update your antivirus software.
For detailed information about the agent update processes and the components that get updated, check the online help under the Security Agent Management section.
