  Hmm, the updated f-prot does not know MyParty:

  [root at sanderold root]# /usr/local/f-prot/f-prot -virlist | grep -i myparty

  Other Parties are present:

  [root at sanderold root]# /usr/local/f-prot/f-prot -virlist | grep -i party
  No_Party.519
  WParty.557.A
  WParty.557.B
  WParty.558
  IRC/Party.A
  VBS/Party.A at mm

  Proof that f-prot has been updated:

  [root at sanderold root]# /usr/local/f-prot/f-prot -virlist | head -5
  SIGN.DEF created 28. January 2002
  SIGN2.DEF created 28. January 2002
  MACRO.DEF created 16. January 2002
  2-up.6000
  2Sexy.384
  [root at sanderold root]#

  So, switch 'vendor'?
