Hi kakroto.

New York Boot (NYB) is an old virus from the mid-nineties. It resides in memory and infects boot sector. It was quite common in floppy-times. What's the problem here? NOD should be able to remove this...

 

Hi there, could you please check your settings against those found in the following NOD32 Tutorial: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=37509

AFTER this run a scan by following these steps:

1. Click on the NOD32 Control Centre (Green and White split square on the bottom right hand corner of your computers screen).
2. Click on NOD32.
3. Click on Run NOD32.
4. Click on “Scan and Clean”.
5. Reboot your Computer into “Safe Mode”.
6. Click on Start> All Programs> ESET> NOD32
7. Click on “Scan and Clean”.
8. Check the scan results.

Let us know how you go...

Cheers

 

hi i did everything you said and it didn't work the virus has not removed from pc in safe mode and normal mode.

 

Crucial system areas such as boot/mbr sectors are protected by Windows. You might need to boot from a Windows installation CD and run fixmbr from within the recovery console window.

 

and how do i do that fixmbr

 

-Insert XP CD and boot the comp.
-On "Welcome to Setup" screen, press R to start the Recovery Console
-type "fixmbr"
