AWARD BIOS 4-3
Note: The Security Option contians "setup" and "system". The "setup" indicates
that the password setting is for CMOS only while the " system" indicates the
password setting is for both CMOS and system boot up procedure.
Virus Warning: This category flashes on the screen. During and after the system
boots up, any attempts to write to the boot sector or partition table of the hard disk
drive will halt the system and an error message will appear. You should then run an
anti-virus program to locate the virus. Keep in mind that this feature protects only the
boot sector, not the entire hard drive. Default value is Disabled.
Enabled : Activates automatically when the system boots up. If any attempts
access the boot sector, a warning message will appear.
Disabled : No warning message will appear when any attempts to access the
boot sector.
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
disable the virus warning first.
