Necessary for OfficeScan NT

It is part of Trend Micro Office Scan suite. Having said that, anyone could create a malicious software and name it Ntrtscan.exe. If you DO NOT have Trend Micro antivirus installed on your PC and this error turns up, you've likely contracted a virus disguised under this name.
