F-PROT introduction
The F-PROT anti-virus package consists of the following files:
F-PROT.EXE The main program (DOS version).
SIGN.DEF DOS/Windows virus search/disinfection data.
SIGN2.DEF Trojan and Java/Script/BAT virus search data.
MACRO.DEF Word/Excel virus search/disinfection data.
ENGLISH.TX0 An English message file.
*.TXT Some documentation files, including this one.
*.ASC PGP signature files.
In addition the package contains the following two files:
SETUPFM.EXE A self-installing version of the F-MACROW Word/Excel
virus scanner for Windows users. When it is installed
it will create documentation files, describing itsd use.
F-STOPW.ZIP This archive contains a self-installing version of the
F-STOPW VXD for Windows '95 (and Windows '98) users
This is a "resident" scanner which will check files
before they are accessed or executed.
To install this program you need to unpack this
archive in the F-PROT directory and run the SETUPFS
program.
If you are running any version of Windows, you can use both the F-PROT and
F-MACROW programs. Please note that for the purpose of detecting and
removing Word/Excel viruses, the F-PROT and F-MACROW programs are equally
good - the difference is that F-PROT is a DOS application, which also
detects other viruses, while F-MACROW is a Windows application that *only*
detects Word and Excel viruses.
If you are running Windows '95 (or Windows '98), you can also use the
F-STOPW program. Unlike F-PROT, this program is continually active,
scanning files before they are executed.
If you are running DOS, OS/2 or any other non-Windows operating system,
you can only use the F-PROT program (provided the OS allows you to run
DOS applications, that is).
Running F-PROT
If the F-PROT program is run in interactive mode, you get a screen which
shows the available functions. You can use the arrow keys to move around
the screen, and press <ENTER> when you wnat to select an action.
