Boot Sector Issue

Hello. I haven't been here in a while but I know the last time I was here, you guys were sooo helpful.

I ran my AVG (free version) this afternoon and it said "Boot Sector of Disk C - Reading Error". What does this mean and how do I fix it? Please help.

Thank you.

 

Did you try a second scan to see if it repeated the message?

 

Yes, after I ran other stuff like Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE and CCleaner. I also went to Trendmicro housecall, free online scan. I don't know if that does anything...

 

Has your AVG shown the "reading Error" again? It is possible it is an AVG specific problem.

 

Yes, it appeared again. If I have a Boot Sector Error, what would happen to my computer if not fixed?

 

In case it is an AVG issue, u may want to post over at the AVG free forum,

It could be someone is familiar with this, there.

I do not know if you are running XP or not but if you are, you will have a copy of your boot sector. Here is a article on it.

I would however make sure it is not an AVG issue first.

I just went to the AVG site above and the problem is with the new version of AVG, thank God. I'm glad it's not my computer.
