MBR partition manager 2002

hi
I installed partition manager 2002 from paragon. every thing was working fine,
I allowed a pic on MSN and nod opened screen that says an error occurred in the MBR sector on the no 1 physical drive contains probable unknown TSR.BOOT virus.

nod will then scan and tell me I have no virus.

q. Is it possible that I do have a virus?
q. Is it likely that paragon's MBR file is not accepted by nod yet?
q, Should nod prevent such a received file affecting my comp?
q. I've uninstalled the boot manager . I put it back to rewrite the MBR but the message still appears. What can/should I do?

I don't seem to be able to locate any previous on this issue.
I realise I could have received a virus with the MSN pic.

my thanks in anticipation of your help

Hi,
This suspicious may be a new boot virus, or a false positive (False alarm). Do you have other antivirus?, it report your MBR as infected?
What Windows do you use?
You can save your MBR to a image file using Norton Utilities for example, and send it to samples@eset.com for a analysis.

 

my operating system is win 98 2ed
my only av is nod 32
I loaded norton utilities and copied records for partitions and forwarded to samples todate no response?
will try an online av check

The cause is in my opinion a rather different. Due the circumstances you described i'd say it is almost on 99,99999 pec cent heuristic false possitive.
Boot manager placed some code to MBR and the code bootmanagers use is very similar to the code of boot viruses.
My suggestion - you should contact ESEt supprot and they will fix the false possitive with you.

Regards.
