Maybe a silly question, but iam place even so:

Can a modern Antivirus-Program detect old DOS Malware also ?

Some can and some don't. Some AV's dropped detection for those old DOS exploits.

Hi Holger

Nearly all AV prgrams can detect 'old' DOS malware but what direction are you pointing with your request? You're running XP at your computer so why that question about DOS? You might have a look here too: http://www.viruslist.com/de/viruses/encyclopedia and here http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showforum=26
