O.P. Removal of Boot Sector Virus
Hey Guys

I've got a question for you all. I'm currently running Windows 98 SE on the family computer but as of today, we have discovered that there is a virus in the boot sector. While its there, we cannot copy the necessary files to restore the OS without doing a full format (we need the documents etc.) Is there anyway of removing the virus without format OR how to remove/overwrite the Winboot file in DOS (we discovered thats the source of it)

Thanks in advance
