- Note - there was a bug in version 2.18 - when run with the /ALL switch, it
- might incorrectly say in the report that one or more infected files had
- been detected. Although the /ALL option should normally not be used, we
- considered this flaw serious enough to justify releasing a new version:
- 2.18a
- ----
- Version 2.18 - major changes:
-
- There are no major changes in this version.
-
- Version 2.18 - the following problems were found and corrected:
-
- The No_of_the_Beast virus was not disinfected correctly.
-
- Version 2.18 - the following false alarms were fixed:
-
- A recent version of CLEAN.DAT from the McAfee anti-virus included
- non-encrypted code from the November_17th virus, causing F-PROT to
- generate a false positive. We expect our competitors to fix this
- problem, but just in case they are not able to do so, we have made a
- small change to avoid this as well.
-
- Version 2.18 - minor improvements and changes:
-
- The Cybercide.1307 virus frequently infects files incorrectly, with the
- result that the infected files would not run. Previously only
- correctly infected files could be disinfected, but now F-PROT can
- clean the others as well.
-
- F-PROT would not offer to disinfect "new or modified" variants of boot
- sector viruses, only viruses it could identify, but did not have
- information on how to disinfect. This has now been fixed.
-
- Version 2.18 - new viruses:
-
- The following 32 viruses are now identified, but can not be removed as
- they overwrite or corrupt infected files. Some of them were detected by
- earlier versions of F-PROT, but not identified accurately.
