On second thoughts, it probably won't.

I was thinking it was a port but it's probably a package. I was fooled
by the conventional .tar.gz suffix.

From the f-prot website Unix faq at

F-Prot Antivirus doesn't disinfect/delete the infected files

If F-Prot Antivirus does not disinfect/delete the infected files, the problem may be one of the following:

1. You do not have write access to the infected file

2. The infected file is an archive. F-Prot Antivirus does not support extracting file objects from archives, disinfecting them and then re-inserting them to the archive.

3. If the infected file is an office document the file will not be
deleted, to avoid the loss of work.

Ahh. I see. By just using f-prot /home without giving options just gives
a report. If you type man f-prot you can read a quick manual for all the
options. eg. f-prot -disin /home will disinfect where possible.
Have fun!
Oh, btw, why did you not just download the .rpm instead of the .tar
archive? You could just install with urpmi fp-linux-ws.rpm or even rpm
-ivh fp-linux-ws.rpm. Much simpler that way

Ok i got this problem fixed. I also did my first scan with the command line
f-prot -verno
f-prot /home

So now it shows me the infected files, but how is the command to delete
them? Or is there a way to configure f-prot to auto delete them? I also
cant find nothing in the readme of f-prot for this.
