It contradicts physics rules. The Malmo (Junkie) MBR will only install to a
device specified 80h in the BIOS (first fixed hard drive), when running an
infected file under plain DOS.
Norton AV is known to suffer of this particular false alarm. See

If you insist keeping NAV and using the memory stick, then disable the boot
check in NAV's options. It may stop the false alert and you don't really risk
anything.
