Hi,

I have downloaded the Linux rpm, which works just fine. The updater that
comes with it works very well too, but I am wondering if there is a way to
right click on a file then select a scan option in the drop down menu is I
have been doing on Windows until now?
Many thanks

Hi tk, thanks for responding. I'm not quite sure what you mean, *nix console
based - does that mean that it is not possible do call up the av scanner
except through a terminal window?

Cheers,

no, more along the lines of 'you need to issue a console command to
call up the av'... your real dilemma here doesn't really have much of
anything to do with anti-virus issues, but instead figuring out how to
add custom menu options that issue the console command of your choosing...

Yes, I'm afraid you're right, Kurt, it isn't an anti-virus issue as such, I
can see that.
At the same time, however, ease of use of a DOS type scanner, for on-demand
scanning may be an issue. I was thinking along the lines of the registry
additions that I used under Windows, namely:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\c:\F-Prot]
@="Scan with F-Prot"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\c:\F-Prot\F-Prot.exe]
@="C:\\F-Prot\\F-Prot.exe /PACKED \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\c:\F-Prot]
@="Scan with F-Prot"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\c:\shell\F-Prot\F-Prot.exe]
@="C:\\F-Prot\\F-Prot.exe /ARCHIVE /PACKED \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\F-Prot]
@="Scan with F-Prot"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\F-Prot\command]
@="C:\\F-Prot\\F-Prot.exe /ARCHIVE /PACKED /DUMB \"%1\""

Though of course I understand that Linux is a different world into which
I've only just been born :)

Thanks for your comments.
