How to remove boot viruses

 

WHAT IS A BOOT VIRUS?


An MS-DOS virus infects the boot record program on hard disks and floppy disks or the master boot record on hard disks.

 

The virus gets loaded into memory before MS-DOS starts and takes control of the computer, thereby infecting the computer when the computer is booted from an infected disk.

 

A boot virus may make it impossible to start the computer.
