I have a modified Knoppix iso that my father-in-law that includes f-prot. I put up instructions on how to use f-prot to scan windows NTFS and FAT/FAT32 drives.

You can find it here (http://www.cs.bsu.edu/~gjjones/administrivia/stories/2003/06/24/fprotVirusScanningWithAModifiedKnoppixCd.html).

Try it at your own risk, but I haven't had any problems with it.

Before anyone asks, I don't have the space to host the iso, but Fabian's install script should work for installing f-prot from the web. Check out his script and discussion on using it to install Knoppix dynamically here (http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1515#6820).

If you do end up using Fabian's script, you will need to modify my instustructions and replace all /usr/lib/f-prot instructions with $HOME/software/f-prot/...

That should be about it, though.

Good luck.
