Sound logical David, a bit of work mind you. I'ed have to run the scanner from
a CD, boot from the CD and scan. Hmmm... I know Avira has a rescue CD, don't
know if it will scan the dos box, should.

No. What I am saying is don't have the DOS wkstn on a LAN.

Don't insert *any* media into the DOS wkstn that hasn't FIRST been scanned on a Windows
platform that has an up-2-date AV application.

Ah.......

That means getting the data /off/ the workstation, then scan it. Egads... a
task to-say-the-least, Glad DRweb still supports DOS, It's just to slow!

No. You don't get it !

Once you know the DOS wkstn is clean, you ONLY have to scan the files going INTO the DOS
wkstan. All DOS viruses are WELL KNOWN. There are no new ones.

If the DOS wkstn is NOT connected to a LAN then the ONLY ingress is via storage media that
you scan PRIOR to bringing to the DOS wkstn.
