FRISK Software has released new versions of F-Prot Antivirus for Windows, for DOS, and for Exchange.
In order to further increase the security and peace of mind we provide our customers, we have now released version 3.14e of F-Prot Antivirus for Windows, version 3.14e of F-Prot Antivirus for DOS and version 1.1.3 of F-Prot Antivirus for Exchange. These new versions provide users with improved scanning of encrypted executables in password protected ZIP archives. Improved scanning techniques allow F-Prot Antivirus to better detect potentially damaging executables hidden in such password protected archives and warn users of the danger.
In addition, changes have been made to the default settings of these versions of F-Prot Antivirus in order to raise the default security standard applied upon installation.
We recommend that users of F-Prot Antivirus for Windows, F-Prot Antivirus for DOS and F-Prot Antivirus for Exchange update their programs to these newest versions by visiting our update center.
