    Laptop attacked by boot sector virus


    A.V.G. Free anti-virus app turned my Defender off on Windows 10, after me trying to uninstall this app, my laptop was fried by a boot sector virus, due to no protection and multiple boot ups, contacted A.V.G. they say it was not their platform that caused this problem, however now have pending court action, could you please advice.

    :)

    boot sector virus maxtor 6E040L0

    i dont even know what a guttman wipe is.

    What 'virus' problem are you having?

    edit: dont double post, use edits instead.

    Your trojan problem isnt coming from your ram or hard drive. trojans are not a boot sector virus. What XP disk are you using, and what service pack is this disk.

    Laptop attacked by boot sector virus

    MBR Boot sector partition error

    After suffering a virus attack on my current laptop there was still found a md5 hash error located on the mbr boot hard drive sector, then I decided to use gparted to perform a new partition on the current installed ssd hard drive and rebuild the mbr boot on whole.

    After this I have received as a problem while trying to reinstall my former installed windows 10 version an error following as 0xc000000f BCD error, for my understanding the boot sector is currently damaged and not able to follow up without a boot repair.

    At the moment I have used the testdisk tool located with the gparted terminal access and apparently there were found some partition errors or not really well fixed HD sectors.

    For now I have been not able to find a solution to fix this problem now in order to reconfigure correctly the partition and mbr boot structure with aim to reinstall properly a new windows OS version.
