Partition Virus/Non-system Drive Virus
I don't think much about virii because I image my system, and can always put it back to before the virus hit. Always worked perfectly.
I use Win firewall and MSE.
But I've heard there are virii that partition the HD or SSD.
And virii that go to non-system drives.
Anybody actually run across one of these?
I want to be prepared.
Is there a recommended remedy - or precautionary measure - for recovering from a virus that creates a partition or infects a non-system drive?
I might already be doing it with my imaging and data backup strategy, but don't understand the partition virus. Would that partition be visible doing a restore, or is there a specific method to detect it?
