Scanning Windows 2000 / 2003 / XP system with F-PROT Antivirus for DOS results in only a portion of files on the hard drive being scanned.

This is the problem with running a DOS antivirus scanner on a Windows 2000 / 2003 / XP systems. It is not guaranteed that all files will be scanned. The reason for this has mainly to do with long filenames and non-ASCII characters in file names. DOS only "understands" 8 character long filenames.

Therefore use the OnDemand Scanner to scan Windows 2000 / 2003 / XP systems. You can also use the Command-Line Scanner (fpcmd.exe). You use the same command-lines as for the DOS Scanner.
