Wyx is boot virus It is in the mbr of hard disk so whenever you boot pc it resides in memory so obviously whenever you try to access any floppy it also infects your floppy drive.  following method should solve your problem

if you are using windows 95/98/me/xp please boot pc with
clean bootable disk.  Your bootable disk should have fdisk.exe, command.com and sys.com files. Please don\'t make bootable disk from already infected pc. after booting with bootable disk type \"fdisk/mbr\' from floppy drive.

second command is optional that is \"sys c:\"

Above command  will remove your old mbr of your hard disk and it will create new mbr of your hard disk.

second command should be used only when you can not boot from drive \"C\" after giving first command

thanking you

WYX boot is a virus that uses floppy disks to infect other PCs. If you accidentally switch on the PC with an infected disk it will infect Partition table and Boot sector of Hard disk. It spreads on DOS, Windows 9x and Windows NT environments. Some times it failed to replicate in Windows environment and damages the data.

                     It is a semi polymorphic stealth virus and it uses standard infection techniques to infect boot sectors. There is no destructive payload in this virus but it slow downs the system speed. The base memory will be reduced by 2KB or 4KB.

                     WYX boot stores the original boot information and remaining virus code at the end of the first cylinder in Hard disks. In case of floppy disks it stores the original information and virus code at the end of root directory. This virus contains the date 31/03/98 and string \"WYX\". So it is called in the name of WYX.

you can simply remove it from your computer using Solo Antivirus software. Solo antivirus will detect and remove  WYX virus safely.
