Package: f-prot-installer
Version: 0.5.14.sarge.3
Severity: important

f-prot-installer defaults to loading new virus signatures whenever a PPP
connection is established. I found this out the hard way when I was
travelling and established a [roaming] GPRS connection for 10 Euros per MB.

Even when not using GPRS I believe updating virus signatures whenever a
PPP connection has been estalished will be a nuisance because it will
degrade the connection throughput substantially for a few minutes when
using a typical modem connection with <10KB/s

I believe the default in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/f-prot-installer should be set
to not load new virus signatures by setting

  FPROT_USE_PPP=false

Thanks,
--Christian

This package has been removed from Debian unstable.  I'm therefore
closing this bug report.  The package has been removed because it
is obsolete (see #414318).
