               Changes to F-PROT

Version 1.14 added the following features:

	Detection, but not removal of

		905
		Anthrax
		C-23693
		Crazy Eddie
		Lovechild
		Rat
		Terror
                V2P6
                Vienna-644
		Whale - warning - the Whale detection is not 100%
		perfect - I am improving it right now.

	The reason V2P6 is not removed is because of the complexity of
	the various encryption methods - If you ever get infected by the
	virus, I suggest you contact its author:

	F-FCHK now does a much better job of detecting minor variants of
	viruses, in particular those cases where the differences are
	insignificant and do not matter with regard to disinfection. As
	an example, it will now identify the minor Jerusalem-variants
	(Payday, Mendoza, A-204, Puerto, Sunday, Anarkia, Westwood, B, C, G
	GrLkDos etc.) correctly, instead of just labeling them "Jerusalem".

	The /LIST switch added to F-FCHK, to produce a report with a list
	of files scanned, and results.

	The /MULTI switch added to F-FCHK and F-DISING to scan multiple
	diskettes.

	The switches may be combined with other switches - for example
	you can use 

		F-DISINF A: /MULTI /AUTO

	if you have a large pile of infected diskettes or 

		F-FCHK C: /AUTO /LIST > report.lis

	to scan and disinfect the entire hard disk and produce a report.

	The following bugs/problems have been fixed:	

		The identification string for "Zero Bug" has been changed
		as it produced a false positive in LB.COM from Lahey and
		several other programs.

		F-FCHK now reports the correct number of files disinfected,
		when files are infected with multiple viruses.

		Occasional (but very rare) crashes of F-XLOCK and F-FCHK
		if F-LOCK was not installed.

		Problems when removing "Stoned" from a hard disk formatted
		under some DOS versions earlier than 3.0

		Occasional incorrect removal of Alabama.	

	F-DRIVER has just been reported not to work on some machines with
	PC-NFS installed.  I am examining the problem, and will have it
	fixed in the next release.

Version 1.13 added the following features:

        Detection and removal of the following viruses:

		Blood
		Itavir
		TUQ
		Slow
		Burger (removal not possible)
		1024
		V-1    (file and boot sectors)
		Joshi
		Plastique 5.21 (file and boot sectors)
		Filler
		Casper
	
	The disinfection program updated to remove "Flash" infections of
 	boot sectors.

	Analysis of suspicious boot sector code improved.
	
	The package is now free of charge to any individual
	using it only on a single computer.
