The new engine will automatically download and distribute to your sites from April 22nd onwards, so you don’t need to do anything about it. However, if you want to get in and download and test it yourselves before hand you can do so by going to http://www.trendmicro.com/download/engine.asp and grabbing it.

Here’s their info release on the subject.

Trend Micro has officially released their new engine (VSAPI 8.7) for Windows, Linux and SolarisSPARC Platforms.
