I don't think DOS users should worry very much about this because the hackers won't find the Window$ files and programs they are looking for and they wouldn't know which files might be worth their while to look into. Also they probably have not developed any good trojan implants that will run in DOS. This program might help to provide a good layer of protection for those who are going online with Window$. If a hacker gets into a DOS computer he will probably get out immediately because he knows that it is so much easier for him to screw with a Window$ computer instead.
