PestPatrol is an anti-malware product, designed to protect a computer system against threats such as adware, spyware and viruses. It performs automated scans of a system’s hard disks, Windows registry and other crucial system areas, and enabled manual scans for specific threats, selected from a very long list of known malicious software
The goal is to create a custom eTrust PestPatrol Anti-Spyware Corporate Edition 5.x distribution file. The article details the contents of some of the distribution files which make this goal possible.
To create a distribution executable, perform the following:
- Create a folder, for example, PPCL.
- Put into the folder, PPCL, the following files found in C:\Program Files\Common\Pestpatrol:
exclude.dat langv5.dat lfinfo.dat PestPatrol.bin ppcl.exe PPClean.exe ppcl_122105.ini <---- (see Files section below) ppctl.dll ppfile.dat ppinfo.dat pploc.dat PPMCActiveDetection.exe ppsrindex.dat runppcl.bat <-- (see Files section below)
- Create a batch file and place outside of the folder PPCL, ie, update.bat (see Files section below)
- Create a pestpatrol.sed file and place outside of the folder of PPCL.
- To update the contents of PPCL and create an executable, run the update.bat file.
