I include the "VIRUSCODE 8" for holding suspicious files, and "-AI" to enable neural-network virus detection. I'm not sure why Scott did not add at least the "-PACKED" switch back then, figured maybe he though I was just being overly cautious.
The "-PACKED" switch is used for .exe files that are compressed (unlike .ZIP files, which compress many various file types into one file). If a virus comes in a compressed .exe, F-Prot should be able to detect it without the -PACKED switch. So the -PACKED switch should only apply if -AI or VIRUSCODE 8 is used (which are designed to detect dangerous files that the virus definitions do not detect).
Also, I use hyphen "-" instead of forward slash "/" because that's what is shown for the switches when doing "fpcmd /?" from the command prompt. Probably doesn't matter since both apparently work.
Both work, and F-Prot uses both (I believe "/" in most documentation, and "-" in the list of switches). I believe someone determine that one was used internally and the other translated to the internal one, which could give one a very slight performance improvement over the other, but it is unlikely to make a noticeable difference either way.
