ASSUMPTION: Frisk's F-PROT program is installed somewhere on your hard drive
or on a LAN file server drive.
I. ****************************** INSTALL ******************************
Step 1. Place only the FxREPEAT.EXE file on your hard drive or on the LAN
file server drive.
Step 2. Write down:
a. The drive letter and path to the F-PROT program.
b. The drive letter and path to the FxREPEAT.EXE program.
Step 3. Create a batch file -- any name will do -- as an example use RUNIT.BAT.
Enter a single line (using your favorite editor) in RUNIT.BAT:
V:\www\www\FXREPEAT X:\yyy\yyy C:\ /D-1 /HARD /NOBREAK /REPORT=C:\F-PROT.RPT
where V: is the drive on which FXREPEAT.EXE is located.
\www\www\ is the path on drive V: to FXREPEAT.EXE.
X: is the drive on which F-PROT.EXE is located.
\yyy\yy is the path on drive X: to F-PROT.EXE.
C:\ tells FXREPEAT to place the F-PROT.!LG log file in C:\.
/D-1 tells FXREPEAT to scan once each day.
/HARD tells F-PROT to scan all local hard drives.
/NOBREAK tells F-PROT to prevent users from stopping the
virus scan if they press the <Esc> key.
/REPORT=C:\F-PROT.RPT tells F-PROT to generate a scan report
and place it in a file named C:\F-PROT.RPT.
Step 4: Place RUNIT.BAT somewhere in your Path or on a LAN Search Drive.
II. ******************************* RUN *******************************
Step 1: Type RUNIT at the DOS prompt and press enter.
What will happen:
FXREPEAT.EXE will look for a log file named C:\F-PROT.!LG. If it
doesn't exist, F-PROT will be called and run.
F-PROT will scan itself for viruses, scan the workstation's memory
for viruses then scan the hard disk(s) for viruses.
The C:\F-PROT.RPT file is generated. If any viruses were found, they
will be listed in this file.
IF no viruses were found, the C:\F-PROT.!LG file will be written
with the encrypted date-time. FXREPEAT.EXE will then terminate.

IF a virus was found, a message will be displayed, an alarm
sounded and the keyboard locked. You will be advised to reboot
using a write-protected diskette.
III. ********************** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION **********************
A. When running FXREPEAT additional times, FXREPEAT deciphers the date-time in
the log file. If scanning is not needed (frequency determined by the
time-date parameter), F-PROT is not called.
B. Scanning frequencies can be in terms of days (/D-1 for once a day, /D-4 for
once every 4 days and /D-0 for everytime FXREPEAT is run).
Scanning frequencies can be in terms of hours and minutes (optional) (/T-1
for no more than once in an hour, /T-36 for no more than once in a 36 hour
period, /T-5:02 for no more than once in 5 hours and 2 minutes or /T-0 for
everytime FXREPEAT is run).
IV. *************************** SUGGESTIONS ***************************
A. To scan again, delete the C:\F-PROT.!LG log file then rerun RUNIT.BAT.
B. To "test" FXREPEAT without using a virus:
1. Place the F-CHKOUT.EXE file in the same directory as FXREPEAT.EXE.
2. Run RUNIT.BAT.
3. Instead of calling F-PROT, the FXREPEAT will run F-CHKOUT.EXE.
4. F-CHKOUT will prompt you for a number. The number you enter will
be returned to FXREPEAT just as if F-PROT returned a number.
0 represents a execution of F-PROT.
3 represents a BOOT Sector or File virus being found.
4 represents a virus signature being found in memory.
(Check the F-PROT documentation for additional details).
5. If a "0" is returned, a new log file (C:\F-CHK.!LG) will created
and used as long as F-CHKOUT.EXE is in the directory. Remove
F-CHKOUT.EXE when testing is completed.
C. Place a line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to execute FXREPEAT everytime
your workstation is booted..... or ... Place the line in a BATCH
file called by your LAN Login Script. This file can then execute
your LAN Menuing system after FXREPEAT has completed.
