hard drive wont boot after running malwarebytes

[Guest bugmenot]

my laptop (11 months old) was acting sluggish 2 days ago so I ran malwarebytes. It found 30 instances of vundo. I clicked ok to reboot and fix things on the reboot. on reboot my hard drive was destroyed. is this conman?? I am unable to re install vista as it gives error and local shop says hard drive is bad and error or unable to write to master boot record. I had within the last week run both disc check and defrag so I know the drive was ok. how often does this program do this. obviously I am not very happy. However there is 20 days left on the one year warranty so HP will replace the hard drive. eztone at hotmail dot com

I think the drive issue is a coincidence , as no virus can kill a hardware device, they can remove files or folders, or even format the drive, but to collapse the whole sectors on it... id say nope.

there are always reasons computers go slow, and a dieing hard drive can be one of them, id say the virus were there already, and id say it would have crash even if you didn't scan it. (anything made by man is can and will crash)

glad you have cover on the drive (just note :most hard drive makers have longer support cover on hard drives than just the one year you get from the on seller)
