At all. Not even yourself, in most cases. DOS viruses are probably not as common these days but they are a lot more dangerous then todays viruses, since in those days creating a virus usually meant learning about <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/assembly-752995" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ASSEMBLY">ASSEMBLY</a> and actually being good with computers, as <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/opposed-2895810" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OPPOSED">OPPOSED</a> to just banging out a script as most kiddies do today. So in a sense, you'll be "protected" from modern worms/viruses, but you'll also be "protected" from using new applications. This is like protecting yourself from viruses entirely by shutting the computer off. you're safe but you can't do anything with it.<br/><br/>Additionally, you'll be hard pressed to find a lot of modern software for it. And as to running your "OS" <em>under</em> DOS, (I assume you mean Windows 7) then your not understanding what DOS is. As ST says, DOS is an operating system. Therefore you cannot run another OS "under" it. You can run Shells (like windows 3.1) but you are never going to be able to have a Pure DOS environment beneath Windows 7, or any NT OS, for that matter.Not to be off topic, but if one was to want to use a computer that is immune to infection, one might want to check into a Live Linux Distro like Knoppix which is a Read-Only OS. Not only is Linux the least viral prone, but the Read-Only OS is immune from tampering once burned to CD or DVDi am interest to learnI suggest using a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/virtual-673" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about VIRTUAL">VIRTUAL</a> machine for messing around with shady things.
