If you are using the older versions of Trend Micro OfficeScan Corp., please migrate to Trend Micro Apex One immediately.
Older versions of Trend Micro OfficeScan will no longer be supported by the manufacturer in January 31, 2022, so if you continue to use it, security problems will occur.
According to the server log data of the Academic Computing & Communications Center, there are thousands of PCs still using the older version of OfficeScan at our university.
