Where can I get some anti virus programs for msdos?  I looked in the
faq files, but could find no references.

You can get them from any well-stocked BBSes and many anonymous ftp
sites.  At our site we have such programs at the /pc/virus directory
including McAfee's scanv74b.zip and Skulason's fprot114.zip. 
Furthermore, the newsgroup comp.binaries.ibm.pc has been posting
these two.

The wares are available by anonymous ftp from garbo.uwasa.fi, Vaasa,
Finland, 128.214.12.37, or by using our mail server (use the latter
if, and only if you don't have anonymous ftp).  If you are not
familiar with anonymous ftp or mail servers, I am prepared to send
prerecorded instructions on request.  (If you don't get the
instructions from me within a few days, it will mean that your email
address cannot be reached by a simple email reply, and you wouldn't
be able to utilize the mail server anyway.)
