was blank, now Clam autoupdate, add f-prot

[G. Armour Van Horn]

Kevin,

Thanks. I've made the change, and it looks like a perfect solution to me.
We'll see how it goes in the next few days, depending on when f-prot next
updates their files. I just hope I can remember that I need to do that again
when it fails the next time Julian updates the script!
