Report Offensive Message

Well my understanding of this is
It embeds itself in Sectors of the HDD reported as Dead. When you run a Utility Like Boot & Nuke or Kill Disc it ignores the Sectors Marked as Bad so the infection survives.

The only solution is to do a Low Level Format which used to be possible in some old BIOS but isn't all that available now days.

I however may be wrong in my understanding of this I haven't personally experienced it. wink
