XFProt virus scanner fix for Puppy 431

[yorkiesnorkie]

This is my experience too.

When I run xfprot from the menu on the laptop: Menu/Utility/X-prot virus scanner, I get the you are running as root message, followed by the cannot detect version message and the gui stops.

Hi Kanyimbe,

I thought that I should let you know I found that, while the XFProt Gui doesn't appear to work, FProt itself actually does get installed via the Puppy 4.3.1 menu. So you can run FProt from the command line if the XFProt Front end GUI will not work for you. You need to open a terminal:

If you wish to perform a normal scan, please type the following and press Enter:
f-prot /(type path of file(s) to be scanned)

Further directions and the command line scan options can be found here:

I actually found it just as convenient to use the terminal, since you can open it in whatever directory you are in by right clicking and opening the terminal there. Then the path you have to type is much shorter!
