You're the second poster to mention problems with the F-Prot for Windows Auto Updater. I have included a script below that I run automatically with the Win2k Scheduler to ftp to the F-Prot FTP site, download the virus definitions, unzip it and overwrite the current .def files. It's probably more reliable than the auto updater, although I don't have F-Prot for Windows, so, I don't know first hand. 1) create a DOS batch file that calls the ftp script and runs the unzip command. I placed it in my F-Prot folder. --------- getdefs.bat --------- ftp -s:script.txt unzip.exe -o macrdef2.zip ------------------------------- ( I got the unzip.exe file from the FreeZip utility that you can get at most shareware sites. You can also download FreeZip from my job's ftp site: ftp://www.mlc.lib.ms.us/pub/mlc/software/misc/freezip.exe. The "-o" option tells it to overwrite existing files without prompting. 2) the script it calls is located in the same folder --------- script.txt --------- open ftp1.mirrors.complex.is anonymous (your e-mail address goes here) cd pub/ bin hash prompt get macrdef2.zip quit ---------------------------- 3) I've only had F-Prot for a few days so I don't know if the file name changes often or not. If if does, I'll try to come up with a way to compensate for that as well.
