My neighbour has a problem with a MBR virus. I downloaded the new McAfee
Anti Virus 3.0.4 with the DAT from Oktober and while scanning I get the
message :

JUNKIE.MBR virus found in memory.
No remover currently available for this VIRUS.

When I boot from a clean diskette and I scan I don't get the message while
scanning.
When I boot from harddisk McAfee scans the DOS prompt and he gives me the
message, and I can't get WIN95 started, but when I remove the command line
in the autoexec.bat (added by McAfee to scan at boot) I can start WIN95.

Does anybody know how to remove this VIRUS???

When I look in the VIRUS list of the oktober DAT i find the JUNKIE.MBR but
there is no information.

PLEASE HELP.

P.S. : I have read the answers to a question of PACO ONTIVEROS of 17/10/97
in alt.comp.virus .  When I boot from a clean diskette and I scan, the
program does'nt find the JUNKIE.MBR VIRUS. How can I remove it then ?????
