ASUS RT-AC88U
Firmware Asuswrt Merlin 386.7._2

I keep seeing the following error, could someone help me with what it means, and is it anything I should be worried about?

I am seeing it at least once an hour.

Thank you
 
This error has been reported in these forums hundreds of times over many years. There's nothing RMerlin can do about it so ignore it.

From a very brief research it looks like that this error occurs while using the Asus firmware as well.
Should this be reported to Asus or to TrendMicro ?

I'm seeing the same regularly on a AC88U running the latest RMerlin firmware 386.7_2 :

If people are seeing it on stock firmware then they should use the Feedback option to collect the relevant router data and send it to Asus. There's no point trying to report it if you're using Merlin's firmware because it's most often caused by an addon script like Diversion.

I'm not using any addon script such as Diversion, etc,
The only script I' using is a self made one for custom DDNS update.
The dcd process is something related with TrendMicro components (Traffic Analyzer, QOS, Web Traffic History, etc,).
I'm using Merlin's firmware and not the Asus stock firmware, but I've found others reporting the same using the stock firmware.
Currently my AC88U is my main production router and so I'm unable to test with the stock one.

Third party firmware and software is beyond the control and Asus and TrendMicro. That's why RMerlin removed the Feedback form from his firmware. The only way issues like the dcd crash might be fixed is if people running stock firmware provide the feedback data so that Asus can try and recreate the problem on their systems.
