You can't really. Master Boot viruses are all different, some do destructions, some report everything you do, some do nothing at all really, just slow your computer down.
A Master Boot Virus is different then a Corrupt Master List.
IF you install winxp without fixing the Boot Pattern your hard drive will NOT be fixed and could die anytime from the virus if its that kind.
A fix takes less then 5 minutes.
One of the only ways to really secure it is to turn off ALL active x prompts, even signed ones.
