Have you checked the BIOS setting "Boot Sector Virus protection" to see if its been enabled or not?
Sometimes when this setting is enabled it makes the OS or some utilities think that there's a virus present on the system. The Boot Sector Protection" option creates an anti-virus signature that mimics a live virus. Go into your BIOS and check to see if this setting has been enabled and if not disable it.
