8.4. Advanced BIOS Features Setup
This section allows you to configure your system for basic operation. You have the
opportunity to select the system’s default speed, boot-up sequence, keyboard operation,
shadowing and security.
Virus Warning
When enabled, you receive a warning message if a program (specifically, a virus) attempts to
write to the boot sector or the partition table of the hard disk drive. You should then run an
anti-virus program. Keep in mind that this feature protects only the boot sector, not the entire
hard drive.
NOTE: Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot sector table can trigger the virus
warning message. If you plan to run such a program, we recommend that you first disable the
virus warning.
Enabled
Activates automatically when the system
boots up causing a warning message to
appear when anything attempts to access
the boot sector or hard disk partition table.
Disabled
No warning message will appear when
anything attempts to access the boot sector
or hard disk partition table.
