Scott Nagy returns for his 19th season at South Dakota State after guiding the Jackrabbits to back-to-back Summit League Tournament championships and NCAA Tournament berths, the first two tournament for bids for the Jackrabbits at the Division I level, after doing so eight times as the Jacks head coach in Division II.
Nagy enters the 2013-14 season after a 2012-13 season filled with milestones, both individual and team related. The milestones started with a win at New Mexico, the Jacks first-ever win over a ranked team, culminated with the team's second NCAA Tournament appearance and includes the Jackrabbits second straight undefeated season at home, which pushed the home winning streak to 30 in a row, a school record and the longest streak in all of Division I basketball to start the season.
All those milestones came on the heels of a record-setting 2011-12 season that saw Nagy win his 300th career game on Dec. 28, 2011, a 94-58 win over IPFW at Frost Arena, his Jackrabbits tie a school record with 27 wins and earn a chance to dance for the first time in Division I.
In his 18 years at SDSU, Nagy guided the Jackrabbits through the transition from Division II to Division I, built an impressive 341-208 record (.621 winning percentage) at the Division I and Division II levels, and guided the Jacks to North Central Conference championships in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 2002, adding Summit League Tournament titles in 2012 and 2013, along with a Summit League regular season title in 2013.
Nagy also directed the Jacks to the NCAA Regional Tournament from 1996-1998 and from 2000-2004 and led the Jacks to the Elite Eight tournament in 1997.
Coach Nagy's Jackrabbits hosted the North Central Regional Tournament in 1997, 1998 and 2000.
Nagy earned North Central Conference Coach of the Year five times in 1996, 1997, 1998, 2002 and 2003.
Before he ever made his mark coaching though, Nagy made a name for himself on the basketball court, as a standout athlete at Delta State University in Cleveland, Miss.
A year after graduating from Centennial High School in Champaign, Ill., Nagy led the Statesman to a second place finish in the league and a berth in the NCAA Tournament with a 20-11 record, earning him a Gulf South Freshman of the Year nod.
A year later, DSU won the conference title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament with a 23-8 record.
The Statesmen finished second in the Gulf South in Nagy's junior year, but they still advanced to the NCAA Tournament, and eventually to the Final Four, with a 24-9 overall record.
Delta State did not make the tournament in Nagy's senior year, but he still garnered Gulf South Conference Athlete of the Year honors in 1988.
Adding to his accomplishments on the court, Nagy also excelled in the classroom, earning Gulf South All-Academic honors for three straight years.
Nagy still holds the Delta State record for games played in a career with 122, career assists with 549, assists in a season with 234 and assists in a game with 15, which he did twice.
Nagy's skills on and off the court earned him an induction into the Delta State Sports Hall of Fame in 2001.
Upon graduating from Delta State with a degree in business administration in 1988, Nagy embarked on his coaching career, which started with two seasons as a graduate assistant at the University of Illinois under head coach Lou Henson.
In Nagy's two seasons in Champaign, Illinois advanced to the NCAA tournament twice, including a trip to the Final Four in 1989. On top of that, his two years at Illinois gave Nagy the opportunity to coach along side of his dad Dick, a longtime Illinois assistant.
Nagy earned his master's degree in physical education from Illinois in 1990, and then came to South Dakota State as an assistant coach under head coach Jim Thorson from 1990-93.
In his first year on the SDSU bench, the Jackrabbits won the NCC postseason tournament title, the second year they won the NCC regular season title and in all three years the Jacks advanced to the NCAA Tournament.
Nagy left South Dakota State in 1993 to take a job as an assistant under head coach Jack Margenthaler at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville for two seasons before coming back to Brookings in 1995 as the Jackrabbits 20th head coach.
Just 29 years old when he took over the program, Nagy started his winning ways in his first season on the job, when he led the Jacks to the NCC title and to a second place finish at the region tournament. In his first season as a head coach on any level, Nagy earned NCC Coach of the Year honors, as the Jacks finished the season with a 24-5 record.
Things only got better in year two, when Nagy guided the Jackrabbits to an 86-74 win over defending national champion Fort Hays State in the regional tournament, earning the Jackrabbits a trip to the Elite Eight Tournament in Springfield, Mass. The Jacks finished the season with a 25-5 record, and for the second time in as many years, The NCC named Nagy its Coach of the Year.
Nagy's Jackrabbits jumped out to a 21-0 start and a number one rank in the country to start year three, as SDSU cruised to its third straight NCC title and second place finish at the region tournament. Nagy also took home NCC Coach of the Year honors for the third straight year and tied a school record for wins with 26.
By Nagy's standards, the 1998-99 season represents a lean year, as the Jacks finished 17-10, his only double-digit loss season in Division II.
After just one year out of postseason play, Nagy led his team back to the NCAA Regional Tournament in the next two years with a combined record of 43-16 and picked up his 100th career win on Dec. 14, 1999, in a 69-52 win over Dakota Wesleyan.
Nagy earned NCC Coach of the Year honors for a fourth time in 2002, when he led the Jackrabbits to a 15-1 start against NCC foes.
SDSU went on to win the regular and postseason conference titles, but finished second in the regional tournament, losing to the eventual national champion Metropolitan State.
Injuries plagued the Jacks in 2003, but Nagy rallied the team to a 24-7 season. They finished second in the NCC, qualified for the region tournament and Nagy earned NCC Coach of the Year honors for a fifth time, becoming the first coach in conference history win the award without winning the regular season title.
In the final year of Division II competition, Nagy lead the Jackrabbits to a 17-0 start and a second place finish in the NCC.
The Jackrabbits advanced to the regional tournament, where the season eventually ended with a school record 27 wins.
Nagy also won his 200th game in 2004, a 92-79 win over South Dakota in the Jacks last Division II game against the Coyotes in Frost Arena, and he did it in front of 8,489 fans.
The all-time leader in men's basketball coaching victories at SDSU, when the Jacks left NCAA Division II, Nagy ranked second among active D-II coaches at with a .781 winning percentage.
Now with 10 seasons with at least 20-wins to his credit, history proves that Nagy wins games, and despite four 20-loss seasons in a tumultuous transition to Division I, he led the Jackrabbits to the top of The Summit League with a pair of record-breaking seasons.

WHAMMY! I mean this is just about the perfect youtube video. Football, hot sideline reporter, someone gets hit sticked, 19 seconds. Youtube 101 right there. And if I'm Amy Campbell I'm not mad about this for one second. Sure degenerates like me will take their internet pot shots for a day, but at the end of said day, everyone will know who Amy Campbell is. She sounds good, seems to have a grasp of the game, looks good, she's got all the tools to be working for ESPN for 'big' Fox. All she needed was a little push to get her name out there and fast-track her career. And that push came from a wide receiver tip toeing in the back of the end zone. Pushed her right out of the camera shot and into fame. So while bloggers like me will put this video up with and apply a movie quote to it, Amy Campbell will parlay her internet fame into real life fame. Amazing what a video can do for your career. Just as Erin Andrews.
PS: Two sneak favorite parts of this video:
The ref on the right just getting his Lance Easley on and the guy on the right literally gives 0 sh!ts that Amy Campbell got trucked.

A family of four is displaced following a house fire in Beaumont Friday morning.
The fire happened just after 10 a.m. at a house located at 3935 Eloise Street in west Beaumont. When firefighters arrived, they found smoke coming all the roof vents. No one was home.
Once firefighters were able to make entry they found the attic of the home on fire. The fire was confined to the attic and caused major damage to the roof structure. There was also water damage to some rooms of the house.
A news release from Beaumont Fire-Rescue says the fire appears to have been caused by an electrical short in the attic.
One firefighter suffered a knee injury while fighting the fire and was taken to Baptist Hospital for treatment.
Firefighters were on the scene until almost noon.

A benchmark study from the Content Marketing Institute reveals that while 70% of B2B marketers use video as a tactic, only 58% believe they're being effective. This is because many people aren't optimizing content before it's released and they are mainly focusing on top-funnel goals like awareness rather than mid-to-late-funnel goals, like lead generation and sales enablement. In short, video can be connected to ROI, it just depends on what you do to optimize your content.
The newsletter is sent bi-weekly and blog updates are sent out 2-3 times per week.

"The first thing we must do is to accept the fact that God is always with us. He stays with us, even if everybody else leaves us. He is the One who will never turn aside. He will always share our sorrows and joys. God is within us and we are within God. Have trust in Him, have faith in Him, and let His truth be in you. Whatever disease may come, whatever sufferings and sorrows may afflict us, we must surrender all of them to God. To surrender to God and live in that state until the last day of our lives will be our exaltedness."

text: These wedges are awesome! I have played many different wedges, mostly made by Titleist and Cleveland. I always ended up going back to the Cleveland 588's and had never really considered Callaway. The last set of 588's I bought, I just couldn't find the feel I was used to (maybe it was the chrome finish which I'd never played before?) so I thought I'd try something different. I really love the look of this wedge but when I tried the original model (not the CC), I just couldn't get over how much they tore up balls. Even hard range balls. So I stayed away. When the Slate CC version came out, I tried again. Much better! They look awesome and feel better. The ball shredding is gone and there is no noticeable loss of spin. I'm a 12 handicap and I rely heavily on my short game to save scores. I have these in 52, 56 and 60 and I doubt that they'll leave my bag for a long time.

Rumor: Cryptic Prepping Neverwinter Nights MMOChampions Online and Star Trek Online developer Cryptic is said to be working on an Neverwinter Nights MMO, according to the sources of Variety's Chris Morris.
The rumblings fit with owner Atari's past comments, including a vow that it would revive classic franchises, such as those under the Dungeons and Dragons banner, and word that Cryptic is prepping "a series of new games" based off Atari properties.
The as-yet-unconfirmed title is said to be targeting a 2011 release--the same timeframe provided for the unannounced project that was revealed when Atari bought Cryptic. As for the studio's two announced efforts, Champions Online is due on PC and Xbox 360 later this year, with Star Trek Online arriving on PC no later than March 31, 2010.
Taking place within the Forgotten Realms setting of the Dungeons and Dragons franchise, the Neverwinter Nights series arrived on PC in 2002 via developer BioWare, bearing both a single-player campaign and support for up to 75 online players per server. The fantasy RPG's 2006 sequel was handled by Obsidian, with both versions embracing community-made content through the inclusion of a mod toolset.

By Kelsea Stahler, Hollywood.com Staff
So you think the Grammys are predictable? Think again. The all-time winners list is more diverse than you'd think.
With the 2012 Grammy nominations being announced tonight (along with a pretty incredible lineup of performers including rock legends The Who) it's hard not to play a little prediction game in your head: Frank Ocean will definitely get a nod or two, fun. will get a little love, and there will probably be more than a little something for Mumford & Sons. But it's the surprising nominees that are the most fun, like last year's handful of Skrillex nominations. What's stranger still is when those wild cards win and we're all left to scratch our heads.
As you look through the nominees later tonight, keep this in mind: the following 12 people won Grammys. So, basically, it's anyone's game.
President Barack Obama (2008)
Our president truly is a renaissance man. He's an Ivy Leaguer, jazz fan, avid Homeland viewer, basketball proficient, leader of the free world, and a Grammy winner. He won his gold gramophone for his recording of his book The Audacity of Hope, and while he may be the most recent winner, he joins other Grammy-winning presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. God Bless America, amirite?
Joaquin Phoenix (2005)
Thankfully, Phoenix didn't receive any reward for his giant joke of a rap career. He did, however, get a little trophy for his work on the soundtrack to Walk the Line. He should keep in mind, however, that the Academy isn't above revoking those awards, so maybe he should continue to keep as far away from the rap game as possible. Just a thought.
Milli Vanilli (1990)
To be fair, the Academy later revoked the Best New Artist award when it was revealed that Milli Vanilli's vocals were not their own. The scary thing is that if those pipes had belonged to Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus, nothing would have stood between them and Grammy glory. Shudder.
Zach Braff (2005)
Remember back in 2005, when everyone you know said that Garden State had changed their lives? And that the soundtrack was a gift from the music gods? Well, the Grammys agreed and awarded the architect of the compilation's greatness a shiny trophy. See? Braff has more to him than a legacy of awkward moments on Scrubs.
Edward R. Murrow (1967)
I'd give the guy a Grammy for having the best news anchor sign-off, but they don't have that category and the Academy seems to be ignoring my letters. Luckily, the beloved journalist already has a Grammy for his audiobook recording of Edward R. Murrow - A Reporter Remembers, Vol. I The War Years. Right. Because we didn't have enough reason to idolize the guy as it is.
Art Garfunkel (Sans Paul Simon)
Garfunkel without Simon was a bit of a joke in the music industry. After Simon and Garfunkel disbanded, Paul Simon went on to win plenty of Grammys, while Garfunkel was left wanting. That is, until 1998, when he won for his children's album, Songs From a Parent to a Child. It sounds more like a manual than a work of art, but hey, good on ya, Artie!
Creed (2001)
You'd think a band that was once the number-one result for the Google search term "worst band ever" wouldn't have an award for what many music lovers regard as the worst song ever, "Arms Wide Open." But then again, we've got an iPhone app that you hold in front of your mouth to simulate a mouth saying the words your mouth is already saying. Sometimes life doesn't make sense.
Martin Scorsese (2005)
When you do a documentary about one of the greatest musicians of all time, you become eligible for a Grammy. And that's exactly how Scorsese ended up with a shiny gramophone for his Bob Dylan flick No Direction Home. Now, if only we could get this guy to write a musical about the mob, we could get him an EGOT.
Men At Work (1983)
Look, we all want to get down to "Down Under" from time to time, but giving Men at Work the award for Best New Artist just makes me think that the term ""best"" does not mean what the Academy thinks it means.
Baha Men (2000)
Thankfully, someone finally rastled those damn dogs and we stopped having to try and answer the question that dominated the year 2000. We don't know "Who Let the Dogs Out," but they can stay in whatever kennel they were finally corralled in. Still, the Grammy powers that be felt it necessary to encourage this nonsense with an award for Best Dance Recording, proving that when it came to that song, no one was safe.
Cameron Crowe (2000)
And in what we're going to go ahead and let be a redeeming moment in Grammys 2000 history, the Academy gave director Cameron Crowe an award for the soundtrack to Almost Famous. There's no video, but I'd like to think Crowe accepted the award while yelling, "I am a golden god!"
Tia Carrere (2009, 2011)
The hot girl from Wayne's World has not one Grammy, but two! It turns out, she's something of a Hawaiian music star. Stop calling her that hot girl now, please.

Glitter Peep Toe High Heel Slingback Style VICE4 26 26
Beautiful shoes The shoes are for my daughter for her Sweet 16. She loves them, says they are very comfortable. March 12, 2014
Disappointed I loved the look of these online so decided to purchase them for my company Christmas party. Unfortunately, in person, the quality looks poor. They look like I spent very little money on them. It's too bad... January 3, 2014
Just love I tried these shoes on at my bridal fitting. They were too dressy for my destination cruise wedding dress but I still had to have them, so I purchased them to go with my reception dress. They are sooo comfortable. September 13, 2013
You get what you pay for. I just received these from ordering online and I'm not impressed. They're not the most uncomfortable pair of heels I've ever worn, but calling them comfortable is quite a stretch. They are very poorly made. The glitter is already stuck to everything and they feel like they're going to fall apart if I do more than stand still. The side already creased just from putting them on. They make crunchy noises when walking due to the poorly made material. I may still wear these to my rehearsal dinner since I don't have much time left, but after that, they'll be in a donation bin. September 9, 2013

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I used these to provide information about how to get to the venue and the function the next day. There was a lot of text which needed to be fitted in and the team was great!"
"i was hoping to avoid any extra stuffers in our inviations if it were possible, but there are certain things you should inform your guests of, so i added info about parking and arrival times and gift registraion type stuff... the only thing that wasnt perfect(for me), would be the back side of this card. the diagonal stripes Do Not go all the way to the bottom of the card (artist choice) , it just seemed unfinished to me, so i asked that they add a "text box" to the space and using the same font and color; add our names & wedding date to fill it out. when they arrived it was exactly as i asked for and i am a happy girl :)"
"I meant to order a bigger card than this so was surprised when it arrived. It was our reception info card but being so tiny, it was actually cute so we used it anyway! There are two enclosure cards available so be sure you are ordering the size you want. I wish they would name them "small" & "large" enclosure...."
"Soft yet vibrant detail. Very high paper quality and pristine print. They are perfect and go with the décor for our entire day."
"Loved these little insert cards to display our website and hotel information. They weren't too expensive and allowed us to add that info without cluttering the invite with it. I think I used pearlescent paper, but quality was great! . For our invitations as a whole, we got comments like ours: "I just got my invitation and I just have to say that is the most beautiful wedding invitation I've ever received. Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day." "We got your wedding invitation this weekend and I just wanted to tell you that it is absolutely gorgeous! Eddie and I ooohed an aaahed over it and then I brought it to my parents' house and everyone there did the same. :) Well done!" "Just got your wedding invitation!!!! So gorgeous!" "Love your wedding invitation. It's beautiful :-)" "Hi! I just wanted to let you know that your wedding invitation is absolutely amazing!! I love it!!" "Just got home and received your beautiful wedding invite. Love it!""

Book Review: The New York Grimpendium – Author J.W. Ocker
The New York Grimpendium I received a book the other day that really puts the spotlight on the macabre aspects of New York. Written by J.W.

Detroit police say they have a person in custody after a woman was taken from a gas station Wednesday morning, beat up and burned with a blow torch. The woman escaped by stabbing a screwdriver in her attacker's eye. "Officers in the 12th precinct responded to a home invasion in progress. They responded to the location within six minutes and at that time they arrested our suspect," Chief James Craig says.Prosecutor Kym Worthy has charged Roderick Neely, 23, with Torture, Unlawful Imprisonment, Assault with Intent to Maim, Assault with Intent to do Great Bodily Harm, Assault with Intent to Commit Criminal Sexual Conduct , Felon In Possession and Felony Firearm. The suspect could also have a possible connection with two violent attacks that happened this past summer. Both attacks were just blocks away from Wednesday's attempted assault, and all three victims were burned. Police are putting together a case investigating the possible connection.

The Green Movement on Home Construction and Renovations are here to stay
Studies show that if a property isn't designed to be energy-efficient, it's not as desirable to buyers, especially those who want to purchase a home for the first time. The "green movement" is the reason for this trend and it has steadily gained momentum over the last 10 years. The green movement has given birth to a new way of commerce designed to increase property value and lower home-energy expenses.
Common products that help make homes green include solar paneling and energy-saving light bulbs. These products are still at a premium, price-wise. Although new and existing green certified homes cost more, 8 percent and 30 percent, respectively, this reality hasn't slowed down the demand. A matter of fact, new homeowners are looking past the initial price because they know that these homes offer perpetual energy savings once purchased. Green real estate properties in Owen Sound can add thousands of dollars to the resale value.
As a homeowner, you can take a few easy steps to make your home more green today. Install energy-efficient light bulbs. These are pricier than the regular fluorescent bulbs, but you'll realize the savings quickly because you won't have to replace them as often. These bulbs use less electrical energy, so your electric bill may reflect a notable savings as well. Of course, this depends on how many you've installed and how you use them. Other green movement ideas include installing heating-cooling thermostats that are programmable and Energy Star appliances.
Consider getting a professional home energy auditor to help you determine where the largest gaps of wasted energy are in your home. If you make changes there, over time, you'll see the real value in long-term energy-efficient savings.
Research which government programs offer rebates or other incentives to homeowners who make energy saving updates to their homes. Inquire before you invest in large-scale renovating so that you'll know what your options are ahead of time.
In addition, contact an Owen Sound real estate agent to learn more about increasing the value of your home through green movement industry practices. Since real estate agents specialize in selling homes, they can give you some professional insight on energy-saving trends in the housing market. These specialists are excellent resources with knowledge that you can draw upon. Many agents are happy to give you special advice on home improvement trends that focus on saving energy.

My office has been using trend neatsuite for many years. Servers are installed with serverprotect and workstations installed with officescan. I've recently upgraded the officescan to 10.0 and I've noticed that server protect normal servers can be migrated to use the officescan instead. May I know is there any difference in doing so? And how do I disable the trend officescan server antivirus from the office scan server? Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
To answer your question, a little background info first.
Years ago, ServerProtect was the only solution that ran on server operating systems (Windows NT, Windows 2000 server) and OfficeScan ran on workstation operating systems (Windows 95, 98, ME, XP, Windows 2000 Workstation). Starting with OfficeScan version 6.0, Trend Micro made OfficeScan work on all windows platforms (server and workstation operating systems). Since then, versions 6.5, 7.0, 7.3, 8.0, and 10.0 have been released, with more and more of the ServerProtect features being incorporated with each subsequent version. In that same time, ServerProtect has really only received minor updates to make it 64-bit compatible, Windows 2008 compatible, etc. but all of the bleeding edge technology has not been added (Web Reputation, File Reputation, etc.) to ServerProtect.
With all that said, I typically recommend to customers that they migrate everything to OfficeScan since it has more technology, newer technology, web-based management console, more scalability (10,000 - 1 in OfficeScan vs. 500 - 1 in ServerProtect), etc.
ServerProtect is still an active product with an active, albeit slower, roadmap so you don't *have* to switch if you don't want to. I find most customers like the new protection capabilities, performance, and manageability that OfficeScan gives them in comparison.
To really confuse you though, Trend Micro also recognizes that servers often times need more protection than just anti-virus, so our Deep Security product can give you a centrally managed, multi-platform (windows, unix, linux), deep packet stateful inspection firewall, host-based network ips/ids, log inspection, file integrity monitoring, and very soon, anti-virus capabilities within one agent, one console, one product. If you are currently using a comnbination of other technologies in your server environment to provide this functionality, you may want to migrate from ServerProtect to Deep Security to get more features in a smaller package (single agent) for probably less money.
In summary, you have three choices the way I see it:
1. Stick with ServerProtect on your servers, understanding that you may not have the latest and greatest features
2. Migrate your servers to OfficeScan and have the latest features and one management console
3. Migrate your servers to Deep Security and get more advanced features you don't get from traditional anti-virus products
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for explaining the differences between these 2 products. I will have to decide on which product to be use on my server platforms. But I have another question with regards to my experience with the office scan clients. I've seen virus warning messages popping out from my office scan 7.3 clients but most of the time the files are being quarantined and cannot be clean? And I have to clean all those virus infected computer using Microsoft one live online scanner to removed the virus and registry keys. So it seems that the office scan 7.3 can only block and not cleaning up infected computers? I've upgraded the office scan to version 10.0. I really hope that it will be able to clean up infected computers this time round.
Hi Ryan,
Another question, does the serverprotect 5.8 disable the windows firewall/ICS service after installation on a windows 2003 server?
Firstly about the pop-up messages on your OSSE 7.3 office scan clients. The OSCE 7.3 is dead, completely. You must to move to OSCE 10 SP1 without waiting because the OSCE 7.3 cannot catch most today viruses. From other side, the most viruses is un-cleanable, from my experience, only viruses from PE* family can be cleaned.
More about virus names you can find here.
About firewall, the SP not have firewall module, so, the SP not stop windows firewall and you need to open communication ports for Server protect self. Ports list
Regards, Kirill
As Kirill said, OfficeScan 7.3 is end of life now and we no longer support it, and since it is a number of years old and 2 versions behind the previous generation, moving to 10.0 would be a smart move.
As for the behavior you were seeing, let me point out a few things.
1. The concept of "clean" is not really relevant in today's threat landscape. This feature came from a time when the bad guys would append viruses to good files, and we could clean them by removing the virus, leaving the good file intact. Today, most viruses are the entire file, so cleaning is not really the right term or action for taking care of those threats. Therefore, Quarantine, which is an administratively chosen action, is a better action. With all of our products, 2 actions are tried on every detected file. By default this is Clean, and if Clean doesn't work, then Quarantine. Long story short, this is how the product should work and it sounds like it is working properly, even though it is an old version.
2. You may have meant to say that files couldn't be cleaned or quarantined. If that is the case, this is common with files that are locked by the operating system. Those files typically are the Internet Explorer temp files, System Restore files, and files in the Recycle Bin. We can't delete/quarantine them because the operating system won't let us. We encrypt though, which renders them harmless. In OfficeScan 7.3, this didn't look very nice in the logs, but in OfficeScan 10, the resulting log files indicates that the file is encrypted to give you piece of mind. The only way to really clean these are the empty out the IE temp directory, delete the infected system restore point, or empty the recycle bin.
3. Lastly, we did add some heuristic technology a number of years ago, but the default settings are set to Pass because of false positive concerns on the part of customers. This may concern you because you might see things like "Passed" in the log files instead of Clean, Quarantine, or Delete. These are detections like MAL_OTORUN, TROJ_GENERIC, etc. Fortunately, there is a way to change the behavior, unfortunately it isn't in the GUI. Here are the instructions to change this (I would recommend Clean, Quarantine or Clean, Delete as the actions you choose):
And as Kirill said, there is no firewall component in ServerProtect, so it doesn't make any changes to any firewall you may already have in place.
There are a few instances where you might prefer ServerProtect over the OSCE or DS products.
If your server is a Terminal or Citrix Server that typically has over 20 users logged in at one time, then ServerProtect is a must have.
OSCE is improving with every version, but it is also, by a very large magnitude, a much heavier product that takes up a lot of resources.
ServerProtect is a light weight, very fast, very lean a/v scanner that is completely aware of Terminal server and Citrix, so it doesn't spawn multiple copies when multiple users login.
If you've got a very busy server, or terminal/citrix, your best bet is to use ServerProtect.
For anything else, you can safely use OSCE.
Thanks guys for explaining to me on the features of this new release. Now I have this issue of the officescan program directory increasing drastically in size over the past 2 days. Installed the program on 26 March and after doing some online updating. The program directory was about 1.67GB. Had a check on 28 march and the folder size was 2.1GB and another check today the folder size was 2.6GB. Cleared all the quarantined files which cleared only 7mb.
I am now worried that this folder will go all the way increasing by 500 MB daily and soon enough, my hard drive will be out of space. It there something wrong with it? Is there any tools to do some maintenance on it?
Hello Ryan
I am new to Trend Micro and I need to replace the present Antivirus software on all our Windows Server Platform, so I need to decide between OfficeScan and ServerProtect. I will appreciate if you could elaborate more on the following
1) Since more and more of ServerProtect features are being incorporated into OfficeScan and there are only minor changes being effected in ServerProtect itself, is it the plan that ServerProtect will be decommissioned at one point?
2) What would be your remarks relating to MCaspers's comment on OSCE needing more resources in comparison to ServerProtect? I am asking this because we will be implementing whichever product we echoed also on Terminla/Citrix servers.
3) Does OSCE also support other Operating Systems (Linux, Mac, Netware) or are there such plans in the pipeline as OSCE takes up more of ServerProtect features.
Though we licensed "Endpoint Security suite with Exchange", but I woould not like to introduce 2 different products on the Servers platform.
Hello Ryan,
Do you have any information on roadmap of Server Proetct 5.8. What will be next version? Our client is on Server Proetct 5.8, and he wants to plan for upgrade. But there is no information on Trend Micro site. can you please help on this?
