- What to do if you find a new virus...
-
- If a new virus appears, F-PROT may miss it, or report it either as a "New
- variant of ..." or "Possibly a new variant of ...". In this case we may
- not have a copy of the virus, but would of course appreciate receiving it.
-
- The same applies to false alarms - despite our precautions they may
- occasionally appear, but we always try to correct them as soon as
- possible. This is particularly important for false alarms generated by
- Secure scan, but we also try to fix any false alarms created by the
- heuristic scanner.
-
- There are several methods that can be used to send files to us:
-
- 1) The best method involves anonymous FTP to ftp.f-prot.com, and putting the
- files in the /incoming directory. JUST DO NOT FORGET TO UPLOAD THE
- FILES IN BINARY MODE! This directory is write-only, but for added
- security the files may be encrypted. We recommend PGP 2.3 (or later)
- (see public key below), but PKZIP or ARJ encryption is probably
- sufficient, provided the password is sent via a more secure route -
- such as via fax. If you use FTP, please don't use an "obvious" name
- such as NEWVIR.ZIP - although we download the files regularly, there is
- always a chance of a new upload overwriting an earlier one - in
- particular as you cannot check which files are in the directory.
-
- NOTE: If using PGP, please do not use the personal keys of Fridrik
- Skulason or Vesselin Bontchev - use the public key of Frisk Software
- International (included below).
-
- 2) The files may also be E-mailed to f-prot@f-prot.com. Sending them
- as binary attachments is just fine, as well as XX- or UUencoded files.
- BtoA amd BinHex require extra work so we would appreciate if you
- could avoid those formats.
-
- You can also use PGP with the -A switch to create a file that can be
- sent by E-mail.
