Introduction

A Contraband Filter Plugin file (.cfp) is a special Contraband Filter which extends
the detection capabilities of a Contraband Filter or Contraband Filter Set. They are

  2. Copy the file into your computers Contraband Filters directory.
Bootable / Live Mode

  • A .cfp file has to be run alongside at least one .cf file.
  • .cfp files will not run alone. 

Running the .cfp file in Examiner Plus
