- F-PROT.EXE
- CSAV for DOS USERÆS GUIDE
- F-PROT.EXE is an operating system-specific command line scanner
- that is included with Command AntiVirus for Windows. It
- provides the same up-to-the-minute and state-of-the-art protection
- as our GUI and on-access scanners.
-
- Our HoloCheck(tm) scanning technology provides the most up-to-date
- virus prevention. The most important benefits of this technology are:
-
- * Simplified updates. You can now update the SIGN.DEF and
- Macro.def files (which contain the most current virus signatures)
- without reinstalling all of the components. This method adds
- speed and efficiency to the new version of Command AntiVirus.
- * Superior polymorphic virus detection. CSAV now offers
- unparalleled protection and elimination of polymorphic viruses
- including the dreaded Morphine, Anxiety and Spanska.
- * Scanning of embedded (OLE) documents. Not only do we scan
- documents, but if an infected document is embedded in an Excel
- spreadsheet or PowerPoint document, Command AntiVirus will catch
- it and save you from becoming infected.
- * Support for nested zip files. New virus signatures have been added
- in this release.
-
- REQUIREMENTS
- F-PROT.EXE is run from the DOS Command Line or from a DOS box in
- Windows 3. It requires an IBM-compatible computer with a 386 or higher
- CPU and DOS 3.3 or higher. At lease 640K of RAM and 1.5 MB of available
- hard disk space are also required. F-PROT.EXE now provides
- protected-mode operation that is faster and utilizes less memory than
- previous releases.
-
- NOTE TO DESQVIEW USERS
- It will run with any version that supports DPMI or VCPI.
- If the host operating system doesn't support DPMI or VCPI, it will
- NOT run.
-
- USING F-PROT.EXE
- All physical drives are scanned and boot sectors are reported
- per partition, not per drive.
-
- COMMAND LINE MODE
- Syntax for command-line mode: F-PROT.EXE [options] {path}+
- F-PROT.EXE /VIRLIST
- path is one of the following: drive:\path, path, drive:\path\wildcards, drive: path
-
- In the above syntax, {path}+ means one or more paths.
-
- F-PROT.EXE will not perform any tasks without an option specified.
- Examples:
- f-prot c:\
- f-prot /list /guru c:\mydir
- f-prot /packed .
- f-prot /paranoid q:\footest /type
- f-prot /virlist
- f-prot /list c:\*.*
- f-prot /report=myrep.txt c:\mydir
- f-prot a:\ /all

- COMMAND-LINE SWITCHES
- Switch Description
- /ALL Scans all files, when combined with another switch.
- /APPEND Adds to the existing report file. This switch allows

- /AUTO Automatic virus removal.
- /BEEP Beep when a virus is found.

- /DUMB Do a "dumb" scan of all files.
- /FREEZE "Freeze" the program if a virus is found.
- /HARD Scan the hard disk(s).
- /HELP Displays a list of available switches with a brief
- description. The /? switch can also be used.

- /LIST Produces a report of all objects being scanned not
- just those that are infected.
- /NOBOOT Does not scan boot sectors.
- /NOBREAK Does not allow the scan to be cancelled if the Ctrl +
