Well guys... my first tests of F-PROT Antivirus for Windows does not show signs of improvement...i download avout 150 samples and on manual scan it manage to detect 18 malicious stuff. I don't even try to execute some of the files... I'm scared. So, maybe in the future... Anyway it's good to know The product is not updated since 2011, so for now there is no sign of partnership with Cyren. I cant remove the pool question: Are you willing to give a chance to F-PROT ? (I'll close the pool after 2 days) but i highly recommend to avoid this software for now!!!
