Title: May have a Boot Sector Virus?
Post by: ilsk on November 21, 2009, 12:11:19 AM

So I did a Factory Restore on my Computer cause it was goin slow, DVD Back Ups going slow, DVD Shrink Going Slow. When I open a program it sometimes opens slow. So After it restored it and installed windows, It said on the Screen Boot Sector Virus.

This may the reason Been having Computer Problems. I downloaded this the Avira Boot Sector Repair Tool and burned the ISO to CD and did a reboot to that. But all it did was stay on a black screen, so I didnt know if it was working or what it was doing,

The Computer is pretty New. Got it in Late January 09.  Its a Gateway Model RS780. Im also running Windows Vista.

So Im hoping someone here with more knowledge about Virus can Help me out. Any help is great. thanks.

Boot sector viruses are very rare. WHAT gave you a message saying you have one?
