From; Trend Micro, Inc. : Urgent Notification - Trend Micro Pattern File 2.594.00 Causes High CPU Utilization ______________________________________________________________ On April 22, 2005 at approximately 3:30 pm Pacific (11:30pm GMT) Trend Micro posted a pattern file (2.594.00) which had the potential to interact with certain computing configurations and cause computer performance issues for some users of PC-cillin, OfficeScan (including the OfficeScan component of Client/Server Suite for SMB and Client/Server/Messaging Suite for SMB), and ServerProtect for NT. This specific pattern file was only available during an approximately 90-minute time window. Trend Micro removed the pattern file from our Web sites and Active Update servers at 5:02pm (1:02am GMT), and immediately took steps to post a new pattern file. Subsequent pattern files do not cause these issues.
