- Version 2.10 - major changes:
-
- We have re-designed the method F-PROT deals with new variants of
- known viruses. Previously it would always refuse to disinfect a
- virus, even if it was only slightly different from a variant it
- recognized. Now it will attempt to determine if the new variant
- is sufficiently similar to a known variant to attempt disinfection,
- using the same method as for the known one. We still would like to
- ask F-PROT users to send us samples of all viruses that are reported
- as new, modified or unknown variants.
-
- Version 2.10 - the following problems were found and corrected:
-
- 2.09 occasionally missed samples of the Tremor and Phoenix.2000 viruses -
- fixed now.
-
- When disinfecting certain viruses, such as Jerusalem from .COM files,
- F-PROT would not retain the date/time of the file, but instead set
- it to the current date/time. Fixed.
-
- If F-PROT was run twice in a row from interactive mode, and found some
- viruses on the first pass, it would occasionally claim the MBR was
- infected on the second pass.
-
- F-PROT would only search for user-defined patterns in boot sectors in
- "Quick" mode, not in "Secure" - it should have been the other way around.
-
- Version 2.09 could not reliably disinfect the "Monkey.B" virus - it was
- handled correctly on 360K diskettes, but just reported as new or modified
- variant of Stoned otherwise.
-
- Version 2.10 - minor improvements and changes:
-
- We have significantly increased the use of "exact" identification
- of viruses, where F-PROT uses a 32-bit checksum to distinguish
- between very similar variants. This is one of the explanations
- for the extremely large number of new variants listed below.
-
- Version 2.10 - new viruses:
-
- The following 58 viruses are now identified, but can not be removed as
- they overwrite or destroy infected files. Some of them were detected by
- earlier versions of F-PROT, but only reported as "New or modified
- variant of..."
