Question

Difference between ransomware virus and boot sector virus

Answer 1

Answer:

A boot sector virus is a type of virus that infects the boot sector of floppy disks or the Master Boot Record (MBR) of hard disks (some infect the boot sector of the hard disk instead of the MBR). The infected code runs when the system is booted from an infected disk, but once loaded it will infect other floppy disks when accessed in the infected computer.

Ransomware is malicious software that infects your computer and displays messages demanding a fee to be paid in order for your system to work again. ... It has the ability to lock a computer screen or encrypt important, predetermined files with a password.
