What is the meaning of boot sector viruses?
A boot sector virus is a virus that's located in or directly modifies a special part of the hard disk in a computer called the boot sector. The boot sector, in basic terms, directs the computer to the things it needs to load the operating system and user interface so you can use it. Viruses that modify the boot sector can be loaded into memory at the same time or even before the operating system, and can prevent the computer from starting up correctly in some cases. Boot sector viruses were more common during the days of DOS, when such viruses had easier access to the boot sector and other sensitive parts of the system. Today, these viruses are not very common because it is more difficult for them to spread and infect.
