Problem Description

This article discusses how you can use the Trend Micro Performance Tuning Tool (TMPerfTool) to deal with performance issues related to Behavior Monitoring and Device Control.

 

Notes:

 

 

The TMPerfTool works in 32-bit platforms only.

 

 

In Trend Micro Internet Security, the Behavior Monitoring feature is found under "Prevent unauthorized changes".

 

 

This article does not apply to WFBS 7.0. Refer to this solution: Identifying and resolving performance-related issues caused by the Trend Micro Anti-Malware Solution Platform (AMSP).

Solution

Software performance issues are usually more complex to identify and resolve than software blocking issues. Typically, applications that have heavy input/output (I/O), or that are resource-intensive may conflict with the Behavior Monitoring and Device Control features.

 

To resolve these performance issues, you first need to identify the applications that are resource-intensive or that have heavy I/O using Trend Micro TMPerfTool. Once these processes have been identified, they can be added to the Exception List area provided in the product.

 

Note: This procedure also resolves performance issues that occur when you install a Sage 50 account on a computer where the Client/Server Security Agent is installed.
 

 

Please do the following:

 

1.

Unzip the TMPerfTool_2_90_1131.zip file.

 

 

2.

Place the TMPerfTool.exe fuels in the same folder as the TMBMCLI.dll file. Usually, TMBMCLI.dll is in the main folder of the products.

 

 

 

Examples:

 

o  

Trend Micro Internet Security's default installation folder is %ProgramDir%\Trend Micro\Internet Security.

 

o  

Worry-Free Business Security's default installation folder is %ProgameDir%\Trend Micro\Client Server Security Agent.

 

o  

OfficeScan's default installation folder is %ProgramDir%\Trend Micro\OfficeScan Client.

 

 

3.

Right-click TMPerfTool.exe and select Run as administrator.

 

 

4.

Click Analyze. The Trend Micro Performance Tuning Tool will start to monitor the CPU usage and event loading.

If a red highlighted row appears, it means that the Trend Micro Performance Tuning Tool found a system-intensive process. In the example below, the process is mspdbsrv.exe.
