I'd like to have something like that... I wonder if the "free" DOS
version of F-Prot could be used along with DOSemu (or whatever that
thing is)? Additional random thought: maybe boot from a CD, but run the
scanner from a floppy. Signature-based scanners don't age very
gracefully and it'd be a nuisance to burn a new CD daily (or even
weekly).
