[QUOTE="Shadowra, post: 1012337, member: 92939"] I'll make it simpler: If the system is in LEGACY, Eset does not scan the MBR. The LEGACY system is no longer used on new PCs and new OSs If the system is in UEFI / EFI, Eset detects the changes (included in the protection against advanced threats) and can also scan and clean! :) (.EFI file that is scanned if you do a scan) . This is a solution that has been integrated into Eset 8 from memory to counter the arrival of Bootkit (like TDL4 / Alureon) and other Ransomware MBRLocker . I hope I was simple in my explanations :p [/QUOTE]
