ATR engine anti-ice or de-ice

Hi!
I'm looking for answers only from ATR technicians or pilots. With the risk of being shot down and laughed at:

I heard rumours that the ATR engine anti-ice system actually consists of boots around the intake. I remember seeing it for my self and not believing it, and then I heard a friend mention it too. Is it really so? Could someone please shine some light on this topic? Having a de-ice system as opposed to anti ice system around the intake seems a silly solution to me.
