Hi! > Antivirus for DOS is good like Antivirus for *any barely used OS*, > because the barely used OS isn't target for viruses.
True, although you get the same effectivity by booting a known-clean readonly CD/DVD with any OS at all for your antivirus work :-). In addition, OSes like XP or Linux can write NTFS and clean infected Windows better that way. I think Avira free-av.de has a DOS boot disk with free-for-private-use NTFS drivers somewhere, too. > Therefore you can use it as second operating system > and/or other boot medium (USB, CD...) and do a robust scan. Did you already try ClamAV for DOS? I think we have both clamscan (command line scanner) and freshclam (updates) ported. You can also download definition files from the homepage on www.clamav.net/ manually and copy them to DOS. www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/system/ There might be newer versions than this 2/2008 compile, but please check if the 2/2008 version supports enough of the current definition file format already. Thanks! >>> someone know if exist a a free UPDATED antivirus for dos? It seems Frisk F-Prot F-Secure stopped updating signature definition files for their DOS versions 1-2 years ago but f-prot.com says they do offer files for DOS f-prot 3.16f? F-Secure: ftp://ftp.f-secure.com/anti-virus/free/ (11/2007) Roadmap: http://www.avira.com/de/support/product_lifecycle.html NTFS4DOS: www.free-av.com/de/download/11/avira_ntfs_for_dos.html The McAfee homepage looks as if DOS and Win9x are supported? www.mcafee.com/de/enterprise/products/anti_virus/file_servers_desktops/virusscan_command_line_scanner_windows_unix.html Can somebody test the McAfee command line scanner?
