It looks like OfficeScan for SBS is no longer a product - and no longer
supported by Trend. I'm confused as to what version or application I need
to upgrade to in order to maintain antivirus protection on my server,
clients, and exchange server. I don't find any patches or updates related
to the version on my server - I see OfficeScan Corp Ed version 3.54 and it
looks like they are well above that.

Sorry for the noob question, but I don't want to do more than I need to - if
this product will still work with the new virus signature files and I'm not
missing any important features, I'll do nothing. But I did notice that
Trend is moving to a new virus pattern numbering system and I'll need to
figure out what patch I need to run - or if my only option is upgrading to a
newer product.

Thanks for any advice.

Now that I know the product, can you tell me if this is a "must" upgrade -
am I leaving myself open to virus attacks if I don't upgrade to the new
product? So far, the scanning engines and virus protection files are up to
date, but not sure if I'm better off upgrading or not.

Thanks for your quick reply.

You would need to contact Trend Support for further clarification.
