Just back to where I came in, Art, that I decided against spoon-feeding,
too!
You know, I guess I feel that if someone's opinion is worth anything,
they'll find that stuff themselves, and if they don't, that's how you find
out their opinion isn't worth anything.

We're doing fine, thanks. I mentioned the email because it did
contain a question, perhaps just implied. But never mind that
right now. I'll get to you later on the subject since some testing
is going on.

I'm still using F-Prot DOS on my Win98 systems but it has limitations
when checking NT based OSs like Win2k and XP.
I've been running KAVDOS32 and it seems pretty good. I think that this
is still a need for DOS based scanners for some viruses.

KAVDOS32 is more effective for Win 9x/ME as well as the NT
based OS.

Indeed.

I have no problem when someone who doesn't know me
questions my integrity with good reason. Actually, I find
the irony of it rather amusing. I used to be accused of
going way overboard with my ANTI-malicious code stance.
>BTW, how does KAVDOS32 work with XP NTSF?
My own testing has been on my Win 2K machines. KAVDOS32
has been finding all the folders and files OK.
BTW, I'll mention again that my K-BOOT diskette has been
undergoing testing by others and has been modified
several times recently. Due to a odd conflict of the
DOSLFNMS driver with the scanner, the driver had to
be dropped. So now subdirectories are displayed in
8.3 form rather than LFN form in my program. The
latest version at my web site should be used.
