Here's my understanding of these two options:

/TYPE tells F-Prot to scan all files, regardless of extension, to see if 
they are possibly Microsoft files that can be infected by macros (such as 
Word documents and Excel spreadsheets).

/DUMB is a generic "scan all documents whatever the extension may be" switch.

With just /TYPE, some file extensions may be scanned for macro viruses, but 
not other types of viruses.
