Actually it's just about opposite of that. Since Declude calls F-Prot directly you don't need to be logged in for it to work. The scheduler in the Windows version only runs if you are logged in.
I haven't have any problems with being logged in with the screen locked so that's how I've handled it. Just laziness and lack of time.
