Noman,
There are many kinds of boot sector virii out there. Many of the antivirus programs can fix this for you. either straight up while running or through the rescrue disks created upon installation of the av program. If you do not have an antivirus program installed and up to date you need to get one. there are many out there. If you have one and have the rescrue disks then usethem to remove the boot sector virus. You need to protect yourself. If you know that you have a boot sector virus , do you know the name of it? That would be helpful. Also, do you have Hijackthis? If so, please post a Hijackthis log here by replying to this thread. If you do not have this program you may download it here:http://www.short-media.com/download.php?dc=69. Please post back , as any information that anyone here will give is nothing more then a guess or a maybe or a could be.
