Downloaded the trial version and wow it's really really fast when compared to other DOS scanners and it's under 1.44 MB at 1.23 MB so can go on a floppy. 5 files and ignoring the TXT, 3 files. How neat and tidy is that!

NOD32DOS EXE * * * 223,787
NOD32 * *000 * * 1,052,225
README * TXT * * * * * 884
LICENSE *TXT * * * *16,799
NOD32 * *CFG * * * * * *24

However I can't find a link from www.nod32.com where you can get updates (NOD32.000 is the virus def file?). If seems you have to download the whole noddosen.exe

-----
There's no /doboots option on the menu so does this need to be invoked on the command line e.g. nod32dos /doboots * * * *

I believe that only F-PROT for DOS is 100% free; - *all other DOS scanners are for a trial period only?

I can not help you with the questions regarding NOD32's DOS version. Never tried it so far.

But to answer your questions regarding DOS virusscanner. F-Prot for DOS is the only free one I know.

Okay DrWeb offers also a free DOS version but only in Russian language. So I think this does not count. :)

Hi, Polo!

You can update the DOS version of Nod32 by copying the nod32.000 and nod32upd.000 files into your Nod32 DOS folder.

Cheers,

Where do I get those files to update from? It appears you have to connect to the site via the control centre something which the trial version doesn't have?
