Hey everyone.

Anyone here use F-Prot for Dos?

I'm using it in a new computer that has no floppy drive, and F-prot does not
like that.

I'm using the following line in my "Send To" folder shortcut that includes
the /NOFLOPPY switch and it does not work:

C:\PROGRA~1\f-prot\F-PROT.EXE /NOFLOPPY

F-Prot still gives me an alert and won't continue. It is if the /NOFLOPPY
switch is not even working?

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

-Jeff

No, I made a mistake as I was rushing this out. I noticed that too.

jeff, you can turn the background scanning component of f-prot for
windows off if you don't want it to be active... i'm not sure, but i
suspect you can even choose to not install that part of the product...

The windows version comes with a different commandline scanner, fpcmd.exe (I
think). You could try that one.
