Hy

McAfee Virusscan detects a Parity Boot B Virus in my Mem
and on the Harddisk when I boot DOS.

Question: Is that really a virus that I have been detected
          or is it the FreeBSD Boot Manager that irritates
          the Virus scanner??

          If it is a virus, can I clean the disk and
          reinstall the bootmanager?????

TIA
