Can anyone teach me on how to irradicate boot sector viruses, becuase my friend told me his computer has one, and inspite of the new technology of McAfee that I have in my computer, the virus is still roaming around my friends hd.

Also, maybe d/l AVG6.0 and it should take care of the virus...bust AV I've ever used. McAffe and Norton are bloatware and not cranked up to what they say. Peter
