    Customer delivered an extremely infected notebook, it was so bad that I decided not to waste any
    time trying to clean it. I formatted the disk and loaded a fresh copy of Windows 7. Installed
    SP1 and setup Nod32 and Malwarebytes Pro. While downloading Windows updates I suddenly have
    Nod32 going bananas. It kept telling me it found a boot sector virus. (MBR sector of the 2.physical disk)
    Nod32 is unable to clean......


    To get rid of it I had to use killdisk.
