Problem Description

Use this procedure to manually update the Pattern File on the OfficeScan server and clients using an Official Pattern Release (OPR) or a Controlled Pattern Release (CPR).


A CPR is a pre-released version of our virus protection database. It is designed to provide you with early protection against the latest computer viruses and to serve as an emergency patch during a virus threat or outbreak.
