thanks essexboy and tribewars. Anyways, I won’t take a chance by clicking “fixMBR” button. As, i dont have patience/time to restore it, if it bricks my laptop.
I think these are customized MBR’s made by the vendors(dell,hp,lenovo,…) from which we buy our laptops.
The latest version of the aswMBR prompts you to download definitions from Avast before running. Once it is done it becomes an anti-virus scanner. I want to revert back to just an MBR scanner and there does not seem to be an easy way to do that. Does anyone know where the database is stored and what other entries need to be removed?
