So, the answer to "Will F-Prot run on an XP platform ??" is still no if
F-Prot for DOS and XP's DOS emulation are indicated? Using NTFS4DOS
indicates the user is not using XP's DOS emulator and so the "XP
platform" part of the question is not relevant to the answer "If you use
NTFS4DOS it wil". It's like answering "Linux" to the question "What is
the best AV". )

Actually, it does - from a DOS boot disk..... but it probably doesn't
scan correctly.

Actually it doesn't - a boot to DOS is no longer an "XP platform"
whereas a DOS window within XP would still be. Booting to DOS would not
support NTFS without the driver supplied by NTFS4DOS (for scanning) and
then you would need to pro version to affect any changes (write
capability).

Im sorry to disagree with you, but this is not true. I have used FPROT for
DOS on many XP machines and never had a problem. You may have a problem on
your machine.

Try it and watch the scan to see how it skips entire directory trees..
Read the results and see how few files have actually been scanned. Why
do you think Frisk does not list W2K and WXP as OSes F-Prot for DOS can
be used on?
