Is F-Prot for DOS no longer supported? John S 04-05-2007

I've been using F-Prot for DOS for years with Windows 98, but I can no
longer find any reference on the web site to a link for the fp-def and
Macrdef2 update files.

Has support for the free F-Prot finally been pulled, (or are the updates
now in some other place)?

If so, any suggestions for a free and unbloated on-demand AV scanner would
be appreciated.

TIA,

John S

updated signature files are of limited benefit if the engine isn't
updated too, and it's my understanding that they've released their final
version of the dos product already...

v3.16f is the version I have
and so far...
it's still working with the currently available defs
I think I saw a bulletin stating Apr 4th as the terminal date,
yet my defs from yesterday Apr 5th still run normally.

Correction: My defs are dated Apr 3rd,
maybe they're the last to be available?
