Make F-Prot silently update?

[sard]

At the moment it updates OK, but a box pops up disrupting (or crashing if it's a game) the application that's running.

According to this http://www.raeinternet.com/fprot/fprotfaq.html#45 you can use Update.exe to silently update but I can't find this file in my F-Prot instalation ???

Any ideas?

The file is Updater.exe. Try using:

C:\Program Files\FSI\F-Prot\FP-Updater\Updater.exe /HIDDEN

Does this mean you have to use the XP scheduler with password?

Try to reinstall. You have the latest version?
Or just go to www.f-prot.com and click those links.

I use this in the XP task scheduler:

"C:\Program Files\FSI\F-Prot\FP-Updater\Updater.exe" /RUN /QUIT /HIDDEN

I have it set to run every two days.


Command line options for F-Prot Antivirus Updater (Updater.exe)

Command line:
/RUN : Start a update with given arguments
/QUIT : Quit after update.
/LAN : Use local area network
/INTERNET : Use the internet
/HIDDEN : Hide the user interface!!!

Command line behavior
/RUN
[Starts update with given settings.]
/QUIT [/RUN + /QUIT]
[Starts update with given settings and quit after the update is done.]
/LAN
[Set update path to use Local Area Network or a path]
/INTERNET
[Set update path to use the Internet]

It seems to me that /hidden does the following: runs in hidden mode and quits so no need to add /run /quit /hidden. Thats how it works for me.

That is true Sealord.
