Well seeing that F-Prot for windows is a shareware version and not a freebie, and would be useful for only a 30 day trial period. You might want to use their DOS version which is FREE.
Atleast, you could set your brother up with the DOS version.
YES, it is kept up to date with the virus def files.
and I use the DOS version on a bootbale CD. So i can scan any system. and it works well.
here are a few old F-Prot Anti-Virus apps.
