Virus scanner

If you want to scan your files or a Windows computer you can use F-Prot virus scanner. You can download the program from the Forum. After you have downloaded and installed the program open a shell and enter the following command while you are still online.

/usr/local/bin/xfprot-gtk

or

/usr/local/xfprot/xfprot-gtk

Now you can update the virus definitions. Then you can get offline. Mount your Windows-partition (mount /dev/hdax /mnt/hdax) and make the follwing settings in F-Prot:

Path to scan: /mnt/hdax

Scan mode: Interactive

Report file: /root/xfprot.log

When the virus scan has finished you can find the log-file at /root/xfprot.log.

If you want to scan another Windows computer, you can remaster Puppy. Boot the Windows computer from the remastered Puppy CD (boot-option puppy pfix=ram) and scan the PC as described above.
