How to Fit F-Prot on a Disk
From your Antivirus Software Guide

Now that F-Prot is much larger in size there's a trick you need to know on how to fit it on a floppy disk - and it's easy!

Difficulty Level: Easy    Time Required: 10 minutes

1. Download F-Prot and install it on the hard drive of the computer of choice.
2. Copy the following files to a floppy disk: F-Prot.EXE, English.TX0, Sign.def, Sign2.def, and nomacro.def.
3. On the floppy disk rename nomacro.def to macro.def.
4. Label the disk as "F-Prot" and lock it by moving the plastic tab on the disk jacket up until you can see a hole appear.
   

Tips:

1. This method enables F-Prot to scan for system viruses, but NOT macro viruses.
2. Test F-Prot by booting from a boot disk and then running F-Prot from the floppy disk, using an EICAR test file.
3. Always run a scan from the hard drive installation of F-Prot after running a scan with the floppy disk version to make sure you scan for macro viruses.
4. Update the macro.def and sign.def files on both the hard disk and floppy disk installations often.
5. Back up work often to avoid losing important data during a virus infection and/or removal from a computer.
