NOD32 for DOS is SMALL & FAST!

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,

BitDefender MS-DOS Edition v.7.0 is freeware

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?

 

IKARUS PScan is freeware, too ...

 

Doesn't Pscan scan very slow?

 

Its got better ... . You should user PScan with T2 2.38 ).

At the moment the new T3 engine is in development. But i doesn't know if a dos portion is planned.

 

Do you have a download link?
