Virus Warning
During and after system boot up, any attempt to write to the boot sector or partition
table of the hard disk drive halts the system and an error message appears.
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. The default is
Disabled.
Enabled: Activates automatically when the system boots up causing a warning
message to appear when anything attempts to access the boot sector.
Disabled: No warning message appears when anything 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 first disable the virus warning.
