Several problems were found and solved after version 3.01 was released:
* Fixed the root mapping problem that occurred with the 16-bit Novell
Netware VLM Client. (If you don't know what "root mapping" or a VLM
Client is, you probably did not experience this problem)
* Fixed a problem where CD-ROMs on a Windows '95 system could sometimes
not be scanned.
* The scanner now works properly in interactive mode on some older
display-types (MDA, CGA and some EGA), where it would previously
not run or just display a blank screen.
We have also made some improvements to F-PROT:
* Data files created by the SYSTAT program with the extension .SYS
used to be scanned as if they were device drivers, but as they were
not, the scanning took unacceptably long.
* We speeded the decompression of DIET-compressed files up so much
that they are now scanned by default (instead of being only scanned
if /PACKED is specified). We hope to add a similar speedup of
LZEXE and PKLITE-compressed files in the future.
* Some viruses may attempt to infect the COMMAND.COM file under Windows
95, without noticing that it is really an .EXE file with a .COM
extension. The result is a file that will not load, but is not
infected correctly, so the scanner will not find any virus. F-PROT
now detects this, and reports such files as "could be a corrupted COM
file".
We have of course added detection/disinfection of more viruses, bringing
the total number of viruses and destructive programs that F-PROT
recognizes to 21,000.
Version 3.02a additions:
* We fixed a bug which caused F-PROT to crash when a program named
ACE.EXE was scanned.
* We added "on-the-fly" decompression of LZEXE-packed files.
* We added detection/disinfection of 22 viruses, as well as adding
disinfection of some viruses that were only detected previously.
