F-prot Anti-Virus for DOS was one of the first antivirus programs on the market, - and it's still a great companion. This is a DOS scanner, so don't (!) expect any fancy Windows interface.
What's great about F-prot Anti-Virus is that it's both s free and has an excellent virus detection record. Since it's DOS-based, F-prot doesn't support email or web surfing or any other Windows-based activity. It doesn't monitor your files to alert you if they contain a virus. And F-prot Anti-Virus doesn't run or update itself automatically. You have to start it manually (or use Windows Scheduler) and you have to manually download new virus definition files.
F-prot Anti-Virus is your second shield in the never-ending antivirus war. You should use it ONLY as an additional security measure together with your regular antivirus software. Whenever your antivirus program of choice has found a virus and you're unsure of if it's gone, or you find computer behaving strangely but you can't detect any viruses, then you start F-prot Anti-Virus to double-check your system. That's what F-prot is for and that's how you should use it. Never use it as your only antivirus program.
Can be used on Windows 95/98. Not recommend for Windows 2000 or XP.
