It has been few reports F-Prot 4.4.2 for Linux has a problem!!!
F-PROT 4.4.2 worked fine for me, although it took a little time (about 5
minutes). I tried this with an older version 3.12d which found the same results in 20 seconds. Also, in case you weren't aware, F-Prot Antivirus for Linux is free for home use, so you might want to do your own tests.
F-PROT 4.4.2 Infection: EICAR_Test_File Time: 4.53
F-PROT 3.12d Infection: EICAR_Test_File Time: 0:20
cpuinfo: Intel(R) Pentium(R) III Mobile CPU 1000MHz MemTotal: 516116 kB SwapTotal: 128516 kB
Here's a short summary of the results I got along with some cpu & mem info. The complete results returned by both versions are attached below.
