Version 6 of F-PROT Antivirus for UNIX is a new, significantly enhanced version that incorporates version 4 of F-PROT Scanning Engine which has been updated considerably compared to the previous version. Due to major changes, the usage of many F-PROT subsystems have been changed in addition to normal upgrades.
Name changes and additions:
Old name | New name |
f-prot | fpscan |
f-protd | fpscand |
f-prot.so | fp.so |
f-prot-updater.pl | fpupdate |
(new) | fpmon |
The virus definitions have also been combined into one file, instead of the previous three, and the update procedure has been improved considerably.
Many parameters and result codes have changed so it is recommended that users of the previous version have a look at the man pages and documentation.
