No. The "/DUMB" switch definitely should be used. It forces all files to
be scanned, regardless of extension.
The history behind it and why it was so poorly named -- they named it
"/DUMB" because they thought it was dumb that anyone would need it. The
organizations that test virus scanners often do things like rename ".COM"
extensions to ".MOC", so without the /DUMB switch, they would think that
F-Prot did very poorly in catching viruses.
Little did Frisk know that later on, Microsoft would be able to run
executable files with .LNK extensions and other weird stuff.
