Hi, I just downloaded a trial copy of Avast Pro because my system has been infected by the stonehenge boot sector virus and my regular internet security program didn’t find it. A friend told me about Avast.
Avast on scanning detects the virus with no problem but doesn’t alow me to do anything with it.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to clean the boot sector
Thank you in advance for any help

To avoid using multiple post with copy and paste you have to attach the log`s
Lower left corner: Additional Options > Attach ( Malwarebytes log / OTS log ) save OTS log as ANSI
Essexboy will look at the logs when he arrive here later today…
also try SUPERAntispyware update it do a full scan and do attach logs…

Besides Superantispyware is useless against rootkits and mbam would be a better option,it would be very kind of you to provide a download link for every tool you suggest.
