Installing trend wf 6.0

[John]

Hi

sbs 2003 standard. I need to install Trend wf 6.0. Are there any special
considerations I need to keep in mind? In the past we have suffered issues
with wf such as slow speed and had to tweak wf to get by.

Many Thanks

Regards

Just do some googling
But to cover some again.
Known Issues with WFBS 6.0
http://esupport.trendmicro.com/0/Known-issues-in-Worry-Free-Business-Security-(WFBS)-Standard--Advanced-60.aspx

I don't use the Default SMART SCAN
(Switch to Conventional Scan)
Don't use the Trend Safe Surf IE Plugin.
(Slows surfing to a crawl IMO)

Other stuff like The Web Surf Filter Global
and Malicious behavior works well.

If you are going to use the Trend Firewall
Be sure you add Things on PC's you want to allow like FTP etc.

Another vote for using conventional scan instead of Smart Scan
(which increases network traffic and server load as the virus scanning is
done on the antivirus server). Also, you may want to be sure to install the
service pack for WFBS 6.0. It adds a checkbox to disable the firewall and
remove the firewall drivers, which makes sense if you are not using the
firewall. I was always annoyed that the drivers were installed whether I
wanted to use the firewall or not.

It can take lots space on your C: drive, be aware

[Gregg Hill]

The firewall drivers are also used for the Outbreak Defense feature, even
with the firewall disabled. So if you remove the drivers, you also kill the
Outbreak Defense feature, or at least parts of it.

Have seen it grow to over 7.5G whilst at other customers it remains
around 3-4G. It does a bad job cleaning up IMHO. 7.5G for a virusscanner
with a webbased management console is a tad much, you can almost fit WoW
in that space :P

Other than that, the centralized management is the best I've seen. If
you're not working for one firm you can become reseller and install a
remote agent, it will then report all the stuff to a centralized console
on the internet. This has less options than the one running locally, but
you can see from all your customers in 1 webpage whether viri were
detected etc. Also when licenses are about to expire and some other stuff.

Hi

Using 6.0 service pack 1 I kept 'Enable Firewall' unchecked in wfbs console
but it still installed firewall on client pc. Any ideas?

Thanks

The firewall driver is still installed on the clients because it's also used
by TM's outbreak prevention feature. The firewall feature is disabled when
the check box is cleared, but the driver is installed. If you want to
prevent the driver from loading, you can set it's startup type to Disabled
in the services manager on each pc, but that disables the outbreak
prevention.

Don't change the firewall by disabling its startup type. If one does not
want the firewall client at all, and one does not care about Outbreak
Prevention and network virus detection features, then the firewall drivers
can be removed via the console.

Go to Preferences > Global Settings > Desktop/Server > Firewall Settings >
Disable Firewall and uninstall drivers.

Thanks Gregg. I have just disabled the firewall but left the drivers in
place for outbreak prevention. I didn't realize TM now has an option to not
install the firewall drivers at all. Are you aware of issues with leaving
the drivers installed? I've never seen the outbreak prevention kick in, so
while I feel a little safer with it in place, I also wouldn't feel terrible
about removing it.

I don't know about 6.0, but I believe those drivers were the root of a huge
problem with massive network slowness when I upgraded a client from 5.0 to
5.1. I had to revert to 5.0 to fix it.

I am still afraid to upgrade that client to 6.0. I know the drivers are used
for Outbreak Prevention, but they MAY be used for other stuff as well even
when the firewall itself is not enabled.

I hate having to install these drivers on all my workstations. I'm putting off
migrating my workstations over to the new 6.0sp1 server hoping i can figure out
a way to not have to install these drivers on every pc. Last time i upgraded i
had a few blue screens at remote locations afterwards and don't want a repeat of
that.
