Before the Trend Micro Apex One server installation
commences, Setup can scan the target endpoint for viruses and malware. Setup scans
the
most vulnerable areas of the endpoint, which include the following:
-
Boot area and boot directory (for boot viruses)
-
Windows folder
-
Program Files folder
Setup can perform the following actions against detected virus/malware and Trojan
horse programs:
-
Delete: Deletes an infected file
-
Clean: Cleans a cleanable file before allowing full access to the file, or lets the specified next action handle an uncleanable file.
-
Rename: Changes the infected file's extension to "
vir". Users cannot open the file initially, but can do so if they associate the file with a certain application. Virus/Malware may execute when opening the renamed infected file. -
Pass: Allows full access to the infected file without doing anything to the file. A user may copy/delete/open the file.

ImportantDuring a local upgrade installation, the setup program prompts you to update your
ransomware protection settings in order to receive optimized protection against
ransomware threats.
Applying the updated settings only changes the settings on agents that already have
Behavior Monitoring enabled.
