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 :-)

What you don't remember stoned? 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.

        Good point.  That's what I told my manager but he wants his mind
put at ease.

         

        Thanks.

         I think the better question is how many viri are written to
attack a DOS box?
