Yes, same here. I use the DOS version on my DOS machines,
since the program as well as its updates are free.

Besides that, I think it is a good program. Their
viruslab always responds promptly whenever I forward
them a file that I find suspicious.

I suggest you download and try F-PROT for MsDOS. Start the computer
with an external DOS boot disk, then scan from the C:> prompt. F-PROT
sometimes refuses to scan a file because it is in-use by Windows. Running
the computer with Windows temporarily disabled will let it scan all files
in the computer.
