Fp-Check - THE Update-Utility :-)

Features

• F-Prot: engine and def-updates - Of course :)
• Good default settings and easy to use (especially in comparison to the old "8a2-ras")
• Very flexible configurations possible (means: not limited to F-Prot)
• Multi-language support (currently: German, English, Dutch, Estonian, Italian, Polish)
• Various status information (date of the last execution, *.DEF-files, current engine, if fp-checkd or F-StopW are running)
• FTP, HTTP (with proxy-support), UNC or local paths supported as engine/*.DEF-sources.
• fp-checkd: check every X hour or at network-notification
• Prompt user before check/update
• Launch external programs at certain stages (before/after update)
• Compatibel to F-StopW (=On-Access-Scanner of FP-Win)
• Exitcodes (handy for automated batch-jobs); Log-file; unpacks ZIP-files
• And some more useful things ...

Known Issues

• DNS-resolution via proxy-server is not supported by WININET.DLL (and therefore also by Fp-Check).
• Jana-Server: is generally a bit moody (means: is not caused by Fp-Check); works since v2.4.0 quite stable without problems at my Win95c-Box.
• WinNT/2k/XP: needs write-access in it's own folder (see To-Do "Security-Stuff")

To-Do-List or "nice to have"s

• Security-stuff (LoginUser; SU)
• encrypt config
• network-capability; server/client-stuff for central management; switchable between admin and user-mode
• policies for F-StopW (currently only in 9x/me possible)
• due to the network-stuff, probably Fp-Check will become memory-resident, so it can send a mail, if an infections occours (but currently without a F-StopW-logfile not possible)
