If you need a dos virus scanner, try out and grab f-prot for dos in the downloads section
Another handy quick and dirty scan (no download needed) can be done from:
If you run McAfee, for instance, be sure you specify a scan of all files (rather than only exe's) or you will potentially miss non-executables or indirect content as a virus transmission source.
That just happened to me yesterday. I found one .CGI file extension that was infected by the JS/SEEKER.gen virus. This shows how important it is to be thorough in scanning all files instead of just high probability default file types.
