Hi Alastair,

[ F-Prot / DOS ]

AS> Just to make this clear, the Windows client [which you pay for] has an
AS> Update button and automated download; the DOS client [which is free,
AS> and can be downloaded on its own; it is supplied with the Windows
AS> client anyway] has manual updates.

You could use WGET[1] to download the latest virus
definitions automatically:

WGET http://www.complex.is/cgi-bin/get_randomly?macrdef2
WGET http://www.complex.is/cgi-bin/get_randomly?fp-def

you could

 - download the virus definitions
 - unzip them
 - check PGP signatures
 - copy files into f-prot directory

in a shell/batch script. I always wanted to write such a script,
but...

BTW I use F-Prot like described on Günther's web site :-)

[1] comes with cygwin ;-)
