You are getting a corrupted download for some reason. I just downloaded the zip
file from the link on the page I posted, and WinZip 9.0 SR1 opened it with no
problem:
http://files.f-prot.com/files/dos/f-prot.zip

Empty your browser cache and Temp folder, and try again, using the link above.
If you still have trouble, email me at glen.vee @ gmail dot com and I will email you
my copy of the .zip file.

Glen, I downloaded F-PROT twice and in both instances my WinZio 9.0 SR1 came
back with "Cannot open File. It does not appear to be a valid archive."
That file is 3.703 KB in size.

I also searched that site and found/downloaded fpav-Windows-X86-hc-en.msi
(7.399KB). When I tried to open it, it came back with: "This installatrion
package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that it
is a valid Windows installer package."
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

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!
