False Detection/Re-Classify Requests


NOTE: This procedure is for non-Trend Micro customers only. If you are a Trend Micro customer, please contact support for help.

If you feel Trend Micro has incorrectly identified a file, IP address, or URL as being malicious, please provide us with more information so we can assess the concern.

The detection re-evaluation/re-classification process consists of five steps:

  1. Request for Detection Re-evaluation Review (DRR);
  2. Trend Micro review of current classification;
  3. Trend Micro request for additional information;
  4. DRR recommendation; and
  5. Trend Micro action on DRR recommendation.


Requests receive prompt, thorough, and fair consideration.
