You can also scan the boot sectors of the drives of your workstation with a system scan.
This is recommended, for example, when a system scan detects a virus and you want to
make sure that the boot sectors are not affected.
It is possible to select more than one boot sector by keeping the Shift key pressed and
selecting the required drives with the mouse.
Note
You can have the boot sectors automatically scanned with a system scan (see
Scan boot sectors of selected drives).
Note
As of Windows Vista, you must have administrator rights to scan the boot
sectors.
