Update on F-prot issue

[Raymond Dijkxhoorn]

Hi!

After a long converation in mail and calling them voice they understood
something was broken =)

F-Prot finally fixed the problem with Mimail, its now catching up BUT! you
have to upgrade BOTH engine and signature files before it will pick Mimail
up... Only updating signature files wont help, it will not pick it up,
verified that ... :)

Dear Raymond,

There was a slight delay on the update, but you should now be able to
download the latest version of the new F-Prot for Linux version.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
