I stand corrected, I do remember those guys, but didn't know how active they still were. I think I used F-prot back when I was dealing with DOS based machines, sorry it was late :-) Jonathan Jesse MCSA, Network+ A+, Linux+ Network Specialist Founders Trust Personal Bank www.ftpb.com This page and any accompanying documents contain confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose.

Natas? Some of the worst virus'es out there are dos boot sector infectors. I was a virus technician at Nasa Lewis (now Glenn) back in the day of the "dos" virus and sneakernet infection route. They do still exist and are out there. Check out Fprot for dos. Frisk was one of the first virus researchers out there. I used to correspond back and forth with him on arpanet/usenet. http://www.f-prot.com/ JK -----Original Message----- From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Ron Leach Sent: Wednesday, August 04, 2004 8:01 AM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: OT-Virus Scan for DOS Box Good point.
