You haven't heard of bootsector virus? The only time I have seen a virus in the wild was a floppy bootsector one. Our customer had edited a doc on her husbands pc and got infected - the pre boot checks caught it.

On that note, i have gotten the impression that the bootsector trick has been coming back in vogue. This because modern antivirus packages no longer do bootsector checks unless they are set to their most stringent level.
