3 Boot records detected. Is this ok?
I have had this problem on numerous occasions.
I have occasionally noticed before (1 or two times far apart) that Mcafee showed 3 boot records, but put it down to fluke or possibly having a form of harddrive present - but I noticed yesterday that this had happened again, but didn't worry in the hope it would go away. Since then Mcafee has shown 3 boot records on at least 2 other occasions.
After the last scan I restarted the laptop and ran a scan again, with the same result. The only equipment connected to my laptop is a wireless USB mouse I have always used.
Please help?
Should I be worried? No items have been detected in recent scans with the exception of 1 Trojan (W32/sality!dam) which was lurking on a memory stick my friend lent me - an old virus that was successfully removed.
If memory serves correctly I had seen a mysterious 3rd boot record before I connected the USB this morning, although naturally I am now doubting myself.
With thanks, MID
