Trend Micro has released an updated rebalanced Smart Scan Query Filter (BF.ptn) to maintain optimal protection for our customers.
As a result, BF.ptn will increase in size from 11MB to approximately 17MB and all Smart Scan clients will need to download this pattern in full one time from the Smart Protection Server.
For most customers, this update will be a routine. Customers who are sensitive to bandwidth issues and concerned about a 17MB download can take advantage of the throttling or resuming functions available for the affected products.
The following table outlines the affected products, throttling and resume options (server or client), required version and patch level to utilize the function:
Affected Products | Hot fix to enable throttling function (Server side) | Hot fix to enable resume support (Server side) | Hot fix to enable resume function (Client side) |

If the customer is using OfficeScan 10.6 in a VDI environment, install SP2 to ensure smooth deployment and bandwidth throttling of BF.ptn to VDI clients.
