I'm going to use your own words against you -

"  You also must be able to boot from a floppy disk. Suppose that your
computer gets infected by a virus. You have to boot from a clean floppy
and run a virus scanner from that floppy disk. You can't make a clean
boot to windows from a floppy disk. If you boot to windows, the virus will
also load itself to memory. If it has some sort of stealth capabilities or
something like that, there you are.
  That's why f-prot is still a dos-program."

See ! There are some things you can do better in DOS than in Windows :)
