    DO you know you can disable Sched.exe as well and just uses a Command in Window to check update every hour?

    This save you another 4 Mb ^^

    HOW?! :)

    EDIT: Found out how:

    I used System Scheduler and added "C:\Program Files\FSI\F-Prot\FP-Updater\Updater.exe". The parameters are: /INTERNET /HIDDEN /QUIT

    Thanks for the tip! ^_^

    Anybody can help me with this? I used the same settings with the new 3.16c (first time i tried, so can't verify if it worked before) and it downloads the updates but doesn't install them :(
    Do I need to add another parameter? Help appriciated, I like this way too update F-Prot :)

    It works for me. The user that the Updater is running under needs to have write privileges to the F-Prot installation directory and the F-Prot Updater registry keys.

    Fix: http://www.f-prot.com/support/windows/fpwin_faq/73.html

    Updater also needs to be run by the user who started the Real Time Protector, if is in use. Running the Updater as a different user may cause problems, even if the user has full administrative rights.

    From what I am told, Version 4 will not have any of these issues. I don't know when it will be released, but the information I have is that it will be real soon.
