F-Prot version 6 (beta) has been released

"w[h]ere is the proof that you warned about this problem years ago"

Have a look at Trojaner Board archive ... http://www.trojaner-board.de/archive/index.php/t-610.html

Prior to 2002, I used different nicknames that I won't tell you.

" So basically you are creating new malware - we should get you arrested."

But I don't spread it. What a no-brainer.

" Because I don't see any solution proposal from your side."

READ our website. We frequently propose solutions and, sometimes, developers even listen to us.

As regards your scanner: what do you expect? Do you want me to code the entire unpacking engine for you because you lack the skills?

"Why you don't work for some security company?"

I have a job that is better paid and, moreover, I may not have the skills. Because your skills are also very limited I suggest that you look at another job as well.

 

I don't believe that you don't spread them and you gave the reason for that by yourself. If you did nothing wrong why not give your real name? Here and now!

 

I do not care whether you believe it or not. And I won't help you to play your tricks on me. There is only one reason why you want to know me name. You want to use this information against me.

 

My friends, sometimes the best reply is not reply...

And this Topic is about the beta version of F-Prot

I will take a look at the beta version when some time, because I like the resources that he use, and hope this have some features that the stable version lacks...

 

Why a big jump from v3.16f to v6? No v4? Last I heard was they were developing v4.

 

The engine is still on v4, but the GUI and whole project are v6.0.

 

Long, trial subscription key of 3 months

 

Is F-Prot going to provide a BETA for WIN 98 SE users? My reason for asking is, if we have to live much longer with version 3.16f, then FRISK is going to lose a very large portion of its customers, even if an anti-spyware module is offered freely to us. BTW, what does FRISK regard as a Trojan? A great deal of highly destructive spyware is ipso facto Trojan!

 

Did I read and see well or this version only support the Outlook email client and the IE browser!?
And the others!?

We can't set what files should the active scanner check, on the manual scanner we can't define what the AV should do when found a threat...

Despite of the nice GUI, I'm disappointed with this new version...

 

I would definitely recommend that the DEFAULT setting for dealing with a Virus is changed from the Recommended setting of "Disinfect, quarantine if unsuccessful" to "Report Only" or a new "Ask User". Particularly, when after installing it carries out an on-demand scan.

It picked up several false positives here. Where do we send bug reports and false positives of the beta?

 

Does this beta use incremental updates or require a license key to download and install ? Will my current F-Prot license key work ?

 

please send things related to engine/viruses to me (see previous post for email) and be so kind to include my private email into CC when writing. As for false positives it goes to viruslab [at] f-prot [dot] com (when you include me here as well into cc i make sure that they are getting fixed ASAP by walking into the viruslab and screaming there loud )

 

I really don't know who uploaded the file on our public FTP server, nor Fridrik does. It was actually not supposed to be there this week since this is NOT the final v6 beta version. So basically we've decided now (just in this moment) to remove it from there before it causes more confusion.

That's typical:

I'm stupid, do not know anything, always make mistakes and spread malware.

And the developers are perfect, know everything and have everything fully under control.

 

Having said that we will bring this thread to a close and remove the link from the first post.
