This is something I saw on Usenet: that a virus can infest the boot sector of a Win95/Linux machine and trash Linux via LOADLIN.
Am I being terribly naive in thinking that the same might apply when you boot via LILO? As far as I can remember, my LILO resides on the bootable part of my Linux partition, and handles boot to Win95 from there. Can the MBR be subverted by a virus and wreak havoc on Linux?
