Boot Sector Virus: A computer VIRUS program that hides its code within the BOOT SECTOR of a FLOPPY DISK, so that the virus code is executed before the operating system itself has loaded, making countermeasures difficult to apply. Once loaded into memory, such a virus infects the boot sectors of any other floppy disk that is placed in the drive, hence ensuring its spread.
