I have tried using this script.  I keep getting an error referring to
wget.exe and it doesn't update F-Prot.

Re: [Declude.Virus] f-prot update script

2005-05-02 Thread Jim Matuska
You could just go the simplistic route too and just put "C:\Program 
Files\FSI\F-Prot\FP-Updater\Updater.exe" /internet /hidden in your task 
scheduler, it is not quite as robust or foolproof as some of the other 
scripts, but I have yet to have an issue with it and it is way simple to 
setup and manage.

RE: [Declude.Virus] f-prot update script

2005-05-02 Thread Colbeck, Andrew
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.

I just implemented this last week; here's my comment:

RE: [Declude.Virus] f-prot update script

2005-05-04 Thread Douglas Cohn
 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

2005-05-04 Thread Colbeck, Andrew
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 ...

Huh?  What about FTP is not working?

We're still FTPing from them.  Latest defs are Monday at 10:34am.  I just
ran the FTP update script manually and it ran fine.

Here's what we use

open ftp.frisk.is
user
anonymous
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
cd pub
binary
hash
prompt
get fp-def.zip
get macrdef2.zip
close
quit

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 ...

2005-05-04 Thread Darin Cox
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...

Darin.

2005-05-04 Thread Matt




FYI, my experience with the command line updater in F-Prot has been
perfect so far as I can tell.  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.
