What is a multipartite virus?

What will be an ideal response?


A multipartite virus combines the characteristics of a boot sector virus with those of a file-infected virus. A multipartite virus can be obtained and activated in the same way a file-infected virus can be obtained. The difference is that the multipartite virus also infects the boot record of the boot sector on the hard disk drive, so that at the next boot, the virus will be distributed throughout the entire system.
