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!
