- Changes to F-PROT

-
- 905

- Whale - warning - the Whale detection is not 100%
- perfect - I am improving it right now.
-
- The reason V2P6 is not removed is because of the complexity of
- the various encryption methods - If you ever get infected by the
- virus, I suggest you contact its author:

-
- F-FCHK now does a much better job of detecting minor variants of
- viruses, in particular those cases where the differences are
- insignificant and do not matter with regard to disinfection. As
- an example, it will now identify the minor Jerusalem-variants
- (Payday, Mendoza, A-204, Puerto, Sunday, Anarkia, Westwood, B, C, G
- GrLkDos etc.) correctly, instead of just labeling them "Jerusalem".
-
- The /LIST switch added to F-FCHK, to produce a report with a list
- of files scanned, and results.
-
- The /MULTI switch added to F-FCHK and F-DISING to scan multiple
- diskettes.
-
- The switches may be combined with other switches - for example
- you can use
-
- F-DISINF A: /MULTI /AUTO
-
- if you have a large pile of infected diskettes or
-
- F-FCHK C: /AUTO /LIST > report.lis
-
- to scan and disinfect the entire hard disk and produce a report.
-
- The following bugs/problems have been fixed:
-
- The identification string for "Zero Bug" has been changed
- as it produced a false positive in LB.COM from Lahey and
- several other programs.
-
- F-FCHK now reports the correct number of files disinfected,
- when files are infected with multiple viruses.
-
- Occasional (but very rare) crashes of F-XLOCK and F-FCHK
- if F-LOCK was not installed.
-
- Problems when removing "Stoned" from a hard disk formatted
- under some DOS versions earlier than 3.0
-
- Occasional incorrect removal of Alabama.
-
- F-DRIVER has just been reported not to work on some machines with
- PC-NFS installed. I am examining the problem, and will have it
- fixed in the next release.
-
