    I have downloaded NOD for DOS . It is in my documents. When I double click on it I get a little blue window that says ESET [press any key to continue or Esc. to exit.] Now what should I do. Help please.

    When you "press any key", it will extract the NOD32 for DOS files to a folder called "DOS32". In that folder, you will have (among others) the file NOD32DOS.EXE. That's the file you start to do the scanning.

    Most often, the DOS version isn't needed.

    Best regards,
    Anders

    Thank you Anders for the info. After doing that, how do you update the DOS virus definitions.

    The simplest way is to download the newest dos version.

    It is my understanding though, that the nod32.000 file is the same for other versions and you can copy it from the eset folder after your computer is updated.

    I used to keep the latest NOD32 DOS on a floppy, (just in case).
    However, the last time I tried this I found that the file was too big :(
    Is this going to be the case from now on?

    Cpututor,said to download the latest version. I did that but it was dated back in July ,so it can't be up on viruses. Is there any way to keep it up to date with virus definitions. Please give me a clue.

    William,

    I think you do have to d/l the latest version to keep it updated. The files dated from July are (as I recall) the system files--not the def files--those should be up to date.
