Master Boot Record Viruses
MBR is master boot record, the first sector of a data storage device. It
is used for partition tables or OS loading programs such as LILO or
Grub.
So a MBR virus will infect this particular area instead of normal files
as usually. The easiest way to remove a MBR virus is to clean the MBR
area, but first you have to make sure there is no important data/program
there that could affect your computer normal operations. Cleaning can be
simply made from MSDOS/command promt with the command: fdisk /mbr
Warning: Some older systems use DDO (Dynamic Driver Overlay) to read
beyond BIOS capabilities, so if the MBR boot code becomes corrupted or
is replaced by another utility or is deleted, your system may not boot
and the DDO will not be loaded.
