I understand WINXP only has a SIMULATED DOS mode.
I do not run WINXP so I am asking for a friend who does use XP.
Can F_PROT for DOS virus scanner be used on a PC running WINXP?
Is F_PROT FOR DOS effective running from WINXP SIMULATED DOS mode?

I find it worthwhile scanning my WIN98SE with F_PROT FOR DOS
from true DOS mode because more files are available to be scanned.

Thank you for your help, Dave_S.

f-prot for dos can be used on xp, but it's not ideal... there is a
commandline version in f-prot for windows that works better under xp...

Don't know. But something you could do is make a bootdisk from some
computer that allows true DOS. That way you get to bypass WinXP altogether.
