Version 1.15 of the F-PROT anti-virus package is now available. There
are no major changes from version 1.14 - you have to wait for 2.0 to
see all the new features. I have uploaded the program to
beach.gal.utexas.edu, but several other FTP sites will probably have
the package in a couple of days or so.

The "405" and "382" viruses have now been reclassified as
Burger-variants.
The names of some viruses have been changed, in most cases
because the viruses had only a temporary, numeric name.
1600 --> Happy New Year
417 --> F-word
Perfume --> G-Virus
/NOBOOT switch added to F-DRIVER to disable memory check at boot
time. Should only be used on computers with Network Boot ROMs,
where the standard F-DRIVER has caused problems.
/QUICK switch added to F-FCHK. Using it results in faster
scanning, but reduces the chances of detecting previously
unknown variants of "old" viruses.
/DELETE switch added to F-FCHK. If it is used, infected files
will be overwritten several times and then deleted.
The F-INOC and F-DIR programs are not included any more,
as they were practically useless.
F-FCHK will now indicate if a program has been compressed by
DIET, LZEXE or PKLITE. The programs will not be scanned - that
will be added in a later version.
A small program (F-TEST) has been added to determine if F-DRIVER
is installed and working properly. See USAGE.TXT for further
information.
The following bugs/problems have been fixed:
F-DISINF /MULTI did not work under all circumstances.
Conflicts between F-DRIVER and PC-NFS have been
eliminated.
Version 1.14 was not able to remove all variants of
Jerusalem, including some which 1.13 handled successfully.
This has been fixed.
