How to install xf-prot in Puppy 5.28?

[pemasu]

Tasmod has created new pets, Xfprot and F-prot. I combined them and the result worked in my Dpup. It was announced in Lucid Puppy thread originally, sorry I dont remember in which thread, there are several nowadays. I would have posted straight link to original pets, but I post all of them here also.
I believe Tasmod wont be angry. Great update.

Install only the first pet or....second and third pet both.

Thanks pemasu and Tasmod. I uninstalled lucid Fprot 6, and the 2.3 xfprot pet, then installed the first of the listed pets as instructed. I had to restart x to make the icon appear in the utility menu, then downloaded the sig update, and everything seemed to function fine.

NB: I tried the browser navigation to set the scan path again, and this time I was able to set it by double clicking on the final folder. Maybe I neglected to try that in previous tests.

The one complaint that comes to mind is that there's no way to turn off scanning of subdirectories, so if you want to scan all the files in the root directory of a folder, you also have to scan all of the subdirectories. This could be a big waste of time if you need to scan files in the root directory of a partition. It would probably be faster to copy them all to a separate folder for the scan.

thanks pemasu for combining the two pets.

I d/l and installed in Dpup Exprimo 5.X.6. I had to run fixmenus to get the gui to show in utility > xfprot. First tried ctrl+alt+del and startx and did not appear.

I have used your combined pet only in dpup 5x6 full install
I used both pets provided by tasmod in luci-001 and lucid 528 on full install

Interesting that the pet wont perform fixmenus wm restart automatically. Maybe I have exceeded the official limit of the pet name. Lol.
I changed a little the naming and at least for me it now performs those installation automatisms ok. I reupload the pet.

Majorfoo. F-prot usage is best when you scan windows partitions and other ntfs-fat32 partitions.
Your scan result is normal by the way.

I have seven (7) different versions of puppy on my hard drive. Full install of each.
Rather than spend the time downloading the virus definitions for each version (large file), i download once and copy the original d/l version to each of the others. xf-prot must be installed on each before you can copy. virus definitions are stored in /opt/f-prot.
First time I update the virus definitions, I will delete the definitions in other puppies and copy again.

works for me.

I don't do windows on this machine. I have another pc with windows that is used for a special application that serves a special need for me.

I am 99% windows free.

Good for you. I am about same level also. Only when I need finnish grammar and hyphenation, I use MS office.
