Update As of June 19:

After the hotfix release, we will schedule another update by the end of June to permanently fix the issue of the corrupted database file that caused the error messages. 

The updates will be downloaded automatically and you can find an indicator when you hover on your 
Trend Micro icon from the lower right-hand side of the screen.

During this time, you might see a Windows notification that Virus Protection is turned off, 
but don't be alarmed as the status will change once the update is applied.
