- Several problems were found and solved after version 3.01 was released:
-
- * Fixed the root mapping problem that occurred with the 16-bit Novell
- Netware VLM Client. (If you don't know what "root mapping" or a VLM
- Client is, you probably did not experience this problem)
-
- * Fixed a problem where CD-ROMs on a Windows '95 system could sometimes
- not be scanned.
-
- * The scanner now works properly in interactive mode on some older
- display-types (MDA, CGA and some EGA), where it would previously
- not run or just display a blank screen.
-
- We have also made some improvements to F-PROT:
-
- * Data files created by the SYSTAT program with the extension .SYS
- used to be scanned as if they were device drivers, but as they were
- not, the scanning took unacceptably long.
-
- * We speeded the decompression of DIET-compressed files up so much
- that they are now scanned by default (instead of being only scanned
- if /PACKED is specified). We hope to add a similar speedup of
- LZEXE and PKLITE-compressed files in the future.
-
- * Some viruses may attempt to infect the COMMAND.COM file under Windows
- 95, without noticing that it is really an .EXE file with a .COM
- extension. The result is a file that will not load, but is not
- infected correctly, so the scanner will not find any virus. F-PROT
- now detects this, and reports such files as "could be a corrupted COM
- file".
-
- We have of course added detection/disinfection of more viruses, bringing
- the total number of viruses and destructive programs that F-PROT
- recognizes to 21,000.
-
- Version 3.02a additions:
-
- * We fixed a bug which caused F-PROT to crash when a program named
- ACE.EXE was scanned.
-
- * We added "on-the-fly" decompression of LZEXE-packed files.
-
- * We added detection/disinfection of 22 viruses, as well as adding
- disinfection of some viruses that were only detected previously.
