hello friends
somehow I got infected with a boot virus called TSR.BOOT
At the time I got it I had a daily updated Avast; I thought my mouse broke but on other OS it didn't...
then I tried Avira and neither of them discovered anything;
I tried Kaspersky and it proved to my surprise ... innocent and in the end I tried one called NOD32 which found it but couldn't eliminate it.
of course it happened on the windows partition
I am running a 3 OS system : osX Leopard, windows XP and Ubuntu;
the reason I am using the infamous windows is there are some programs that don't exist on other platforms and I got used to them
I will probably have to reinstall the windows partition but since in my case this takes a lot of time, I'll probably make a hdd upgrade so I'll try a clean installation. I am using 64 bit on osX and Ubuntu (and of course nothing bad ever happens there) and I have a 32 bit XP license - the last sale I have made to Microsoft corp.
