Hi

Any comments on article

Extract:
>>>>>>>>>>>
"For example we were last week analysing a series of banking Trojans which
infect the user's PC when they surf a web page by using exploits. And what
it does is it writes a modified boot sector to your hard disc.
"Now first of all, writing to the boot sector on a hard drive from within
Windows is supposed to be absolutely impossible, but that's what it does.
And it replaces the very first sector on your hard drive with a modified
version.
So next time you reboot the computer the very first thing you run - before
Windows - is the malware. It loads itself into the memory and then continues
to boot the machine normally.
>>>>>>>>>>>

That seems bad news if true.
But there is no detail on what browser, version of Windows or whether MS has
patches or anything.
