- Version 2.23a
-
- This version includes a few changes from 2.23, including a fix for
- a bug in 2.23, where F-PROT could run out of file handles, while
- doing a heuristic scan. We also added detection of a few viruses,
- as well as disinfection of the polymorphic Werewolf.1500 virus,
- which is "in the wild".
-
- The F-MACRO program has also been updated to version 1.15, and several
- minor bugs in it have been fixed.
-
- The list of SimTel mirror sites has been updated.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Version 2.23 - major changes:
-
- A separate scanner/disinfector for Word Macro viruses is included
- in this version. See F-MACRO.DOC for a brief description.
-
- Disinfection of boot sector viruses has been improved, as can be seen
- from the list below of viruses that were detected previously, but can
- only now be disinfected.
-
- VIRSTOP2 (The replacement for VIRSTOP) has been updated to accept
- various command-line switches (/COPY /NOCOPY /BOOT /NOBOOT /OLD /BELL
- /KEY /FREEZE). We fixed one problem with the 2.22 version of
- VIRSTOP2 - it handled the F-TEST.COM file incorrectly. However, we
- are not yet quite ready to replace the old version with this one, so
- for now, both programs are included in the package.
-
- No other major changes are present in this version, but that does not
- mean that we here at Frisk Software are getting lazy - quite the
- contrary in fact, and some major changes are under development. This
- includes a rewritten scanner "engine", which should speed up the
- program, as well as making it even better at dealing with polymorphic
- viruses.
-
- Also, a virus-information hypertext program is being prepared,
- which will replace the outdated virus information section in the
- current version of F-PROT.
-
- Version 2.23 - minor improvements and changes:
-
- The mail server now supports MIME encoding. Also, the list of
- official F-PROT FTP distribution sites has changed. See UPDATES.DOC
- for details.
-
- F-PROT now detects the PKZIP 3.00B Trojan. This Trojan is, however,
- not a "real" threat, but due to some unfounded hysteria, numerous warnings
- about it are in circulation, far outnumbering actual copies of the
- actual Trojan.
-
- Version 2.23 - new viruses:
-
- The following 51 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.
