Its not the same if you read it, its asking to disable the scan of the boot record because I was getting the same error as before which I never did get any help but its okay still, thanks

Sorry, didn’t realize that.

I think there isn’t a place to add the boot record as an exclusion for scanning.
Maybe you should test your machine with anti-rootkit applications. I suggest avast! antirootkit or Trend Micro RootkitBuster.

Thanks for your help and suggestion but what is the anti-rootkit appl. and which one and do I install and run?

It’s a scanner for rootkits (hidden virus).

Choose one that is compatible with your operational system. Among them, test avast antirootkit.
