I do this all the time. No need to use a CD-RW, though, just burn
your F-Prot folder to a CD-R as a closed session. When you update the
definition files or the main program just burn another session.
(Leave the CD open but close each session.) I always create a date
folder on the CD and copy the F-Prot folder to that. A 700 MB disc
will hold quite a few sessions. I have several PCs that I have to
check occassionally and this method works on every one. Boot to pure
DOS to run it, though, not a DOS window.
