I won't get a virus if I download DOSbox from this site will I? Seems like lots of people are using it.
you'd expect an honest/usuable answer from the people who put the download there ? 😉
Feel free to try it with an online virusscanner.
However if you download it from www.dosbox.com you should be fairly save as that one has been downloaded 17,562,848 times so far.

How to ask questions the smart way!
Thanks. Just a little nervous as I've been burned by another emulator a while ago.
Also, I saw there was the 2 sites listed for DOS game downloads, but they don't have nearly as many as are compatible. Do you know any other good sites to get them?

Other sites may add a virus to the downbload.

Yeah, that's what worries me a little. Has anyone done any from myabandonware.com? It looks like a good site with good comments on it.
We don't really discuss abandonware here.

dosgames.com is good.
It has all the legal/shareware/freeware games.
As for the rest, you must either pay for a copy or illegally download from abandonware sites.
If you take the latter option nobody will come after you, the FBI won't be showing up at your door, but it's a good idea not to mention it on VOGONS.
