Mikkel advised you to add a script to /etc/cron.daily.
Running the script by hand would need the "./" prefix.

To get a script called 'virusscan.sh' in place, do the following:

open an xterm
su (to become root)
cd /etc/cron.daily
vi virusscan.sh
<press "i" to go to insert mode in vi>
<type the f-prot scan command we figured out. Make sure you enter the
entire path-name to the f-prot program, with cron you do not want to
rely on PATH settings>
<press ESCape to go to command mode in vi>
type :wq

Then, on the prompt, type

chmod +x virusscan.sh
(This makes the script eXecutable.)

Type 'exit' (without quotes) to go back to your regular useraccount.
>From there, the daily cron-run should pick up the virusscan.sh script
and execute it every day.

Good luck
Paul
