Agreed. So it becomes a question of where you [subjectively] percieve 
that point to be.

Personally, I have always had it set to update once per day, since our 
supplier only releases updates once per week and I want to be able to 
control exactly when all the PCs on our network will slow to a crawl for 
20 minutes. I don't actually know how frequently or not Trend Micro 
release them...

Indeed, this would be the optimal solution.

Currently yes. Hopefully that will be rectified eventually.
