RE: [Declude.Virus] f-prot update script
This update is the worst method IMO (The one referenced in the link here). I used to update every hour and using this I would find the machine with the updater hung on the screen timed out at least once a week. W2K Server SP4. What OS are you using it on where it does NOT create issues? I started writing a simple updater using 4NT copy /u which copies across anonymous ftp and http links and only copies new files. Perfect but then I read somewhere that fprot has no FTP updates available anymore so I rewrote the one for Mcafee command line instead since I do not have the full version installed on this machine and do not want to install the full version. The script pulls the superdat expands it and then the daily dat. I could not get the wget Mcafee script from the Declude links to work for long either. Wget got corrupted after 2 days saying it was not a valid win32 application. Those links on the Declude site should be removed as that stuff does not work anymore. 4NT from Jpsoft is simply the best tool for the job anyway. That and unzip from infozip and it is done.

RE: [Declude.Virus] f-prot update script
Hmmm. Well, I went to the F-Prot website and picked out their link to download the latest signatures. They do not support the FTP method anymore, but: wget -N http://updates.f-prot.com/cgi-bin/get_randomly?fp-def and wget -N http://updates.f-prot.com/cgi-bin/get_randomly?macrdef2 do work very well. Thanks for pointing that out, Bill. It may be worth mentioning that when the GUI scheduler had problems, it would tell me instead of quietly erroring out or retrying, which was why I switched to the method discussed, which was to invoke: http://www.f-prot.com/support/windows/fpwin_faq/88.html from Task Scheduler or AT commands. Since I switched to this method, my downloads have been flawless. I won't be switching to wget with http unless this turns out to be bad. For what it's worth, I've been using 3.16a and now 3.16b ...

Hi Andrew, We have monitoring in place to know if any management process fails, so we'll know if this no longer works and we need to change. However, this has worked flawlessly for years, so I see no reason to change to the F-Prot updater that was always iffy at best. Not sure how HTTP updates are any different from a legacy standpoint than FTP, since the F-Prot updater is the officially supported mechanism. In any case, my comment was just that it works fine, and has for years. I'll choose FTP over HTTP anyday if given the choice...

I think the issue that you are referring to is the program updates that only the GUI handles through the F-Prot Updater which has been known to hang in the past when bandwidth isn't good. The command line tool can be set up in Windows Scheduler with a reasonable time out which should kill the command if it goes on too long, and it only handles the definitions. I can see from F-Prot's perspective that supporting scheduled FTP downloads is not good for their bandwidth since most probably don't bother to check to see if there is a newer file before downloading (not necessarily the case here). I schedule my command line to run at an odd minute, every 60 minutes in order to avoid any common download times and the slowdowns that might accompany them. I have McAfee update every 60 minutes offset 30 minutes from F-Prot."C:\Program Files\FSI\F-Prot\FP-Updater\Updater.exe" /HIDDEN /INTERNETMattDarin Cox wrote: Hi Andrew, We have monitoring in place to know if any management process fails, so we'll know if this no longer works and we need to change.

Well, you've got two problems here, Daniel. The first is that the script depends on an external program called wget that you probably don't have installed. The second is that this script should be deprecated, because the FTP method is no longer provided by F-Prot! As Jim and Keith pointed out, following the F-Prot article is the way to go.

Re: [Declude.Virus] F-Prot Update Problems
Hi, I am running F-Prot 3.15a (this was also happening with 3.15). When I installed I also installed the Scheduler and Updater. Now the Scheduler is running as a service and has been told to update the definitions every 4 hours. This works a lot of the time but sporadically the Updater ends up with an error message on the screen that I was not able to reach the Internet and it is waiting for a click. At this point no more Updates are run until you click (not good). [] I haven't seen that problem in my server. Occasionally I see it in my personal pc that runs f-prot, but when I double check I just realize that I actually don't have an internet connection. Perhaps it is a problem with your network card that is sporadically down, or your internet is not being very stable lately. Nope, I have *seen* this problem happen on my mailserver, while I was doing some maintenance unrelated to this problem. The server is 100% of the time connected to the internet and was sending/receiving mail at the time. However, right after the click I restarted the update manually and noticed it got an update. So MAYBE there is a problem with the update routine when the servers are in the process of being updated themselves and don't accept connections, or something like it. Hmmm I think I'll CC this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Groetjes, Bonno Bloksma --- [E-mail scanned at tio.nl for viruses by Declude Virus] --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.Virus mailing list.

Re: [Declude.Virus] F-Prot Update Problems
These kinds of problems are why we went with a scheduled FTP process instead of using F-Prot's updater. Works flawlessly. There are a couple of examples on Declude's tools/utilities page. We went with the simplest one.

For you folks out there using the 3.15(a) version are you seeing the same problems or not? Any help on this would be appreciated.

RE: [Declude.Virus] F-Prot Update Problems
Are you scheduling updates on the hour or at a few minutes after ? Try setting the scheduler for x minutes after the hour to avoid the heavier traffic.

RE: [Declude.Virus] F-Prot Update
I just noticed this also on a server I consult on. The F-Prot Scheduler did not run the update. There is no fpupdater.exe. There is an updater.exe, but that is a 32bit app with no command line.
