Here's what I have used for over a year and recommended to the list at that time:
# F-Prot SCANFILE1 C:\Progra~1\FSI\F-Prot\fpcmd.exe -AI -ARCHIVE -DUMB -NOBOOT -NOBREAK -NOMEM -PACKED -SILENT -TYPE -REPORT=report.txt VIRUSCODE1 3 VIRUSCODE1 6 VIRUSCODE1 8 REPORT1 Infection: I include the "VIRUSCODE 8" for holding suspicious files, and "-AI" to enable neural-network virus detection. I'm not sure why Scott did not add at least the "-PACKED" switch back then, figured maybe he though I was just being overly cautious. Also, I use hyphen "-" instead of forward slash "/" because that's what is shown for the switches when doing "fpcmd /?" from the command prompt. Probably doesn't matter since both apparently work.
