Well, quite recently, the McAfee Virus Detection thing pops up for me (the one with the virus in between some fingers of a hand window) and tells me I have a virus in the boot sector or some such and I cannot delete it or clean it. It has no file name either.
I have done a full scan of both my hard drives - of ALL Files, Compressed and a Full Heuristics scan and everything. It did detect the JS.seeker virus, and was able to delete it (some non-essential internet temporary file - the way they seem to be getting on the PC's these days).
But after that, my PC had been virus-free for a month up until this week - and previous to that, virus free since I installed the OS and everything.
My father is a network engineer and said if the full entire virus scan with updated DAT files and a recent Super-Dat did not detect it, then there should be no virus - unless its something new McAfee hasn't found yet.
Another odd thing I experienced was when I tried saving a file from the internet a couple times, when the "save as" window came up, where I could browse for a place, it said I had that boot sector virus with no name. It also did it for my Floppy drive and also a non-writable CD in my CD-ROM drive.
So my question being, since I have scoured the McAfee site for any lead on this, if anybody else has heard of such a thing?
Many thanks for any help.
