- ASSUMPTION: Frisk's F-PROT program is installed somewhere on your hard drive
- or on a LAN file server drive.
-
-
- I. ****************************** INSTALL ******************************
- Step 1. Place only the FxREPEAT.EXE file on your hard drive or on the LAN
- file server drive.
-
- Step 2. Write down:
- a. The drive letter and path to the F-PROT program.
- b. The drive letter and path to the FxREPEAT.EXE program.
-
- Step 3. Create a batch file -- any name will do -- as an example use RUNIT.BAT.
- Enter a single line (using your favorite editor) in RUNIT.BAT:
-
- V:\www\www\FXREPEAT X:\yyy\yyy C:\ /D-1 /HARD /NOBREAK /REPORT=C:\F-PROT.RPT
-
- where V: is the drive on which FXREPEAT.EXE is located.
- \www\www\ is the path on drive V: to FXREPEAT.EXE.
-
- X: is the drive on which F-PROT.EXE is located.
- \yyy\yy is the path on drive X: to F-PROT.EXE.
-
- C:\ tells FXREPEAT to place the F-PROT.!LG log file in C:\.
-
- /D-1 tells FXREPEAT to scan once each day.
-
- /HARD tells F-PROT to scan all local hard drives.
-
- /NOBREAK tells F-PROT to prevent users from stopping the
- virus scan if they press the <Esc> key.
-
- /REPORT=C:\F-PROT.RPT tells F-PROT to generate a scan report
- and place it in a file named C:\F-PROT.RPT.
-
-
- Step 4: Place RUNIT.BAT somewhere in your Path or on a LAN Search Drive.
-
-
- II. ******************************* RUN *******************************
- Step 1: Type RUNIT at the DOS prompt and press enter.
-
- What will happen:
-
- FXREPEAT.EXE will look for a log file named C:\F-PROT.!LG. If it
- doesn't exist, F-PROT will be called and run.
-
- F-PROT will scan itself for viruses, scan the workstation's memory
- for viruses then scan the hard disk(s) for viruses.
-
- The C:\F-PROT.RPT file is generated. If any viruses were found, they
- will be listed in this file.
-
- IF no viruses were found, the C:\F-PROT.!LG file will be written
- with the encrypted date-time. FXREPEAT.EXE will then terminate.

-
-
- IF a virus was found, a message will be displayed, an alarm
- sounded and the keyboard locked. You will be advised to reboot
- using a write-protected diskette.
-
-
- III. ********************** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION **********************
- A. When running FXREPEAT additional times, FXREPEAT deciphers the date-time in
- the log file. If scanning is not needed (frequency determined by the
- time-date parameter), F-PROT is not called.
-
- B. Scanning frequencies can be in terms of days (/D-1 for once a day, /D-4 for
- once every 4 days and /D-0 for everytime FXREPEAT is run).
-
- Scanning frequencies can be in terms of hours and minutes (optional) (/T-1
- for no more than once in an hour, /T-36 for no more than once in a 36 hour
- period, /T-5:02 for no more than once in 5 hours and 2 minutes or /T-0 for
- everytime FXREPEAT is run).
-
-
- IV. *************************** SUGGESTIONS ***************************
- A. To scan again, delete the C:\F-PROT.!LG log file then rerun RUNIT.BAT.
-
- B. To "test" FXREPEAT without using a virus:
- 1. Place the F-CHKOUT.EXE file in the same directory as FXREPEAT.EXE.
- 2. Run RUNIT.BAT.
- 3. Instead of calling F-PROT, the FXREPEAT will run F-CHKOUT.EXE.
- 4. F-CHKOUT will prompt you for a number. The number you enter will
- be returned to FXREPEAT just as if F-PROT returned a number.
- 0 represents a execution of F-PROT.
- 3 represents a BOOT Sector or File virus being found.
- 4 represents a virus signature being found in memory.
- (Check the F-PROT documentation for additional details).
-
- 5. If a "0" is returned, a new log file (C:\F-CHK.!LG) will created
- and used as long as F-CHKOUT.EXE is in the directory. Remove
- F-CHKOUT.EXE when testing is completed.
-
- C. Place a line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to execute FXREPEAT everytime
- your workstation is booted..... or ... Place the line in a BATCH
- file called by your LAN Login Script. This file can then execute
- your LAN Menuing system after FXREPEAT has completed.
