4 things come to mind

1. You can get viruses on discs not just the internet.

2. Press F8 during the boot process to bring up the OS selection menu
use cursor keys to select your windows install.

3. Your boot language (keyboard.sys or the autoexec.bat KEYB command has been messed with) 'Viruses' also come in the shape of mischievous little boys.

4. Learn greek (sorry but I had to)


Try no 2 first

good luck
