Improper removal renders hard drive unbootable.
Monkey moves the MBR from the first sector to the third, replacing it with its own code. When booting normally, i.e. from the local hard drive, the virus is activated first and everything will appear normal to the user. This occurs due to the moved partition - an action that renders the hard drive inaccessible when booting from floppy. Doing so will render the hard disk unbootable. Instead, it is recommended you use antivirus software to effectively remove the infection.
