What is the latest free/abandon virus-scan for Dos?
What is the best Version when using a 286/10?

Is this a question arising from mere historical curiosity or you actually don't have a better computer where to run a decent AV that could scan the files before they're transferred to the DOS drive?

Where's the fun in doing that? Besides that, even in pure DOS mode a user can use their broadband connection to browse the internet and also download shareware, etc DOS games and apps. 😀

it's pretty simple. a rather old dos-protection is better then no one.
currently f-prot 2.14 is used because it did not refuse to start.
newer ones do not start.

if I copy disks with vgacopy it's better to check the copied disks.

I copied an old Filemanager from an 8088XT Laptop on my 286.
then I checked it and it contained a rather old virus 🙁
But F-Prot killed it, so I think it is not completely useless as mentioned here.
