Thanks, I have been having some problems with personalized user settings.

The typical storage/install point on Windows 98 SE is either
C:\Program Files\F-Prot or C:\Program Files\FSI\F-Prot

sorry, that first link is dead end. maybe someone has a copy they can

send
to you.

I am having difficulty finding the folder where F-Prot stores itself and
this is a result of some problems with the profiles of some of the

different
users and a file/folder reset. Does anyone have name of that folder so I

can
update the application...This is a mystery as to why that happened on a
reset in folder options, all the desktop folders and shortcuts are empty

at
the subfolder root.

F-Prot is the best for this procedure.

Actually I think the boot diskette has an AV scan included. But I am

not
certain, its been awhile.

I have heard about some free versions of software packages that one

can
download and use to check W98ME systems for viruses, but I do not

know
if
any
of them could be launched at the Dos Prompt. There may be times when

a
System
may fail to boot successfully and the only way to get anywhere is

by
using a
Start-up Diskette. Is there some way to check for viruses at the C:
Prompt?
Thanks!
