Are you sure? If you're assuming that this is so because of the message
below, that's an unsafe assumption. Some CMOS's and hardware have an
option to detect/block possible virus action by monitoring the MBR,
but can't tell the difference between an MBR infector and an FDISK
write. If you think you have a boot sector infection and don't know
-which- virus, FDISK /mumble isn't a good idea. (1) Not all boot sector
viruses infect the MBR (2) Some that -do- also encrypt the MBR and/or
the disk. If you clean boot, the virus isn't in memory to decrypt,
so you may lose access to programs or data when the virus has gone.

Sounds like CMOS bootsector 'virus protection'.

LLFs are complete overkill for virus problems.

Yep. It's called anti-virus software. B-)
