Please note that version 6 of F-PROT Antivirus for Windows has been released. We recommend that all Home, Corporate and Mail Server users of version 3 of F-PROT Antivirus for Windows upgrade their program to the newest version as soon as possible.

The scheduled update does not work when no one is logged onto the computer

You should be able to run the Updater as a service (silent update) by using the Windows Scheduler.

You can add a task to the Windows Scheduler by choosing:

1. Start
2. Control Panel
3. Scheduled Tasks
4. Add a Scheduled Task

When you have finished creating the task you need to need to double-click on the Updater in the Scheduled task list and then type the following command in the "Run" edit box:

"C:\Program Files\FSI\F-PROT\FP-Updater\Updater.exe" /INTERNET /QUIT /HIDDEN

NB! To avoid user privilege conflicts, please make sure the Windows Scheduler runs under the same user name as the FP-Updaters' folder.
