Temporary files from the ..\PCCSRV\WSS\Pattern folder of Worry-Free Business Security (WFBS) fill up your hard drive

The temporary files TBL_XX.dat and VINFO_XX.dat are created in the ..\PCCSRV\WSS\Pattern folder in order to generate the Smart Scan pattern file in the server. When this process does not terminate correctly, the files are retained in the subfolders to be used for the next time the pattern file is generated.

To prevent temporary files from accumulating in the ..\PCCSRV\WSS\Pattern folder:

1. Download and extract a VBS script. Use "trend" as the password.
2. Create a rule to run this script regularly on the server. To do this, refer to the Microsoft article: Schedule a task. 

• Use the WFBS Disk Cleaner Tool
• Remove unnecessary files.
  1. Stop the Trend Micro Security Server Master service.
