There is no need to get the f-secure or commandcom versions. From a Declude
perspective, they don't offer any advantages.  All you need is the $20 DOS
version from f-prot's home site www.complex.is.  You can get the $40 FP-Win
version if your a big-spender, but still use the included DOS f-prot.exe with
Declude.

As for autoupdate, attached a simple batch file to ftp down the updates.  Have
had it running under the NT scheduler service without problems. It takes a
brute force approach - files are always downloaded, but I  have gotten every
signature and program update without fail.  It has recently been updated to
exclude f-prot.pif from being extracted.

It uses the info-zip freeware unzip.exe that can be found at
http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/UnZip.html.

Modify the first three environment variables to match your configuration and
run it.  It will download/install/update f-prot for you.

I haven't had any problems, but use at your own risk, YMMV.

Note: I don't use the F-StopW real-time scanner(only recently available under
NT). If you do, I would advise thorough testing of the batch file, or better,
have your "Declude"copy that the update batch file hits in another directory.

I am looking for an appropriate scanner to use with Declude on a Win2000
Server.  I asked scott if a DOS version is useable, and he said it was.  I am
confused about how they work though.  What are you guys using?  (URL Pls)  The
reason I am asking is that the licencing requirements for MacAfee make Declude
uneconomical in my situation, compared to a few other products.  Do I really
need a Win2000 server version of this?  If anyone out there has bought a DOS
verison from f-secure.com, or commandcom.com, how do you get it to
automatically update?  TIA  I can be reached off-list at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
