My initial attempts to install the F-Prot virus
protection package has met with several difficulties.
1. Once the "device=c:f-driver.sys"
   is added to config.sys on a Data Storage 386 SX
   the system will not boot.
2. The F-oschk program when run with all 5 parameters
   to check the boot sector as well as the partition
   boot record causes repeated problems, because
   the boot sector changes with each boot on the the
   systems I have tried it on thus far.
It seems that without these two modules working for
us will would not be adequately protected against
boot sector/partition boot record virii.
