Yes. I use F-Prot on all my Windows machines. I've used it for years and
am very happy with it.

If you use NTFS4DOS it wil.

Sources I trust have mentioned here many times that F-Prot for DOS does
not work properly on XP irrespective of which file system one chooses
when installing XP. The OP should use F-Prot for Windows instead as
mentioned by another poster.

Actually, it does. To bypass that little glitch, all you have to do is
manually type in the path that you want to scan, and enable recursive
scanning. I use F-Prot DOS on my machine all the time without too much
problem.

F-Prot for DOS shouldn't be relied upon when scanning under an NT based OS (NT /
W2K / XP), only when launched from DOS / Win 9x as it will skip directories,
regardless whether the file system is FAT32 or NTFS.

NTFS4DOS is a DOS driver, used to mount NTFS volumes *under DOS*. The governing
factor whether F-Prot will run properly on the platform is the OS, *not* the
target drive file system. As Frisk explained here, years ago, the problem is
with the DOS extender used.
