F-Prot Anti-Virus for DOS
(ver 3.16f)
Abandonware {was formerly: "free, only if for non-business use"}


F-Prot is a modern, DOS virus scanner.  It is minimalistic in its use 
of resources, yet it is very effective in finding and eliminating 
viruses and macroviruses.  Just because DOS is rarely a subject of 
new virus attacks, doesn't mean that you shouldn't scan for viruses.  
There may still be some older viruses lurking in forgotten DOS files 
scattered about the Internet.

It is important that you keep the virus and macrovirus definition 
tables up to date.  Updated definition tables can be found on the 
F-Prot website:  

	http://www.f-prot.com/download/signaturefiles.html  

The update files are "fp-def.zip" for the virus definition tables, and 
"macrdef2.zip" for the macrovirus tables.  Just unzip the definition 
tables from these archives and replace the old files of the same name 
currently in the FPROT directory. 

---------------------------------------------

NOTE: As of APRIL 2008, F-Prot Anti-Virus for DOS is no longer supported 
by the manufacturer.  This program will continue to function however, with
the late March 2008 Signature files (see: fp-def.zip and macrdef2.zip).
Using older definition files are NOT a major issue, as there haven't been 
any DOS Viruses added to the defination files for a very long time (no one 
is writing them anymore).  IF F-Prot gives a warning that the signature 
files are too far out of date, just change your system DATE to 04-01-08 
(April Fools Day 2008).
