Setup Configuration Screen

WORKSTATION

Select the Workstation option if F-PROT Professional is already installed on your file server. The program files are not installed with this option, but the registry files on the workstation are modified. This is a convenient way to setup Real-time protection and icons at the workstation and run the program from the file server.

CUSTOM/NETWORK

If you select the Custom/Network option you have the ability to choose the components and location of the F-PROT directory.

From this screen, you can install (recommended) or not install F-Agent. F-Agent is necessary for scheduled scanning to occur. It will look at FPT (F-PROT Task) files for scheduled scans and then execute them. Additionally, you can install DVP.VXD, the Virtual Device Driver for the Windows 95 environment. DVP will check the boot sector of all floppies inserted into the disk drive, as well as program files prior to execution.

You may select or name the program folders for the F-PROT program and for F-Agent by using the Custom/Network option.

As you access each screen the default setting(s) will be displayed. If you wish to accept the setting simply choose Next.

UPDATE

Using the Update option is a quick and easy way to update your existing version of F-PROT Professional for Windows 95. As there are always new viruses, it is critical to keep the most current version of F-PROT running.

RESCUE DISK

If you did not choose to make an F-PROT rescue disk during installation you may either run the setup program again and one will be created automatically for you, or you may create one manually. Be certain that your system has been checked for viruses before beginning this task.

If you prefer to make an F-PROT rescue disk manually, start by making a copy of the Windows 95 STARTUP diskette that you created while installing/updating Windows 95. It will then be necessary to add a copy of the Master Boot Record of your hard drive and the F-PROT for DOS files.

WINDOWS 95 STARTUP DISK

If you skipped this important step during the installation of Windows 95, make one now, copy it and put the original in a safe place. This is how:

Double-click on My Computer.

1. Double-click on Control Panel.
2. Double-click on Add/Remove Programs.
3. Select Startup Disk.
4. Select Create Disk.

When it is finished, write-protect it, copy it and put it in a safe place.

BOOT RECORD BACKUP

These steps will ensure that you have a copy of the Master Boot Record and the boot sector of your hard drive as a precaution. This will also copy the FIXDISK utility to your disk.

1. Open a DOS window (go to the MS-DOS Prompt) .
2. Change Directory into:C:\Progra~1\Comman~1\f-prot95 or type:

   CD "PROGRAM FILES\COMMAND SOFTWARE\F-PROT95

3. Remove the write-protection from the copy of the STARTUP diskette you just made and insert it into drive A:.
4. Type the following:

   FIXDISK RESCUE CREATE
   (This stores a copy of the MBR/BS on drive C:).

5. Type the following:

   FIXDISK RESCUE CREATE A:
   (This stores a copy of the MBR/BS on drive A:)

6. Type the following:

   COPY FIXDISK.EXE A:\,

7. Write-protect the diskette and put it with the original.

F-PROT FOR DOS FILES

The files listed below should now be added to your F-PROT rescue disk. They may be obtained from the installation diskettes, or from the F-PROT directory which was created during installation. It is also acceptable to simply use the installation diskette containing F-PROT.EXE to run F-PROT for DOS.
