Anti-Virus
This option allows you to request WinBIOS to issue a warning when
any program or virus issues a Disk Format command or attempts to
write to the boot sector of the hard disk drive.
If you select the Anti-Virus icon from the Security window of the
WinBIOS Setup Main Menu, the following window displays:
If the Anti-Virus option is set to Enabled, the following message
displays when a write is attempted to the boot sector.
Boot Sector Write!!! Possible VIRUS: Continue (Y/N)?
Select Y or N as appropriate. You may have to select N several
times to prevent the boot sector write.
The following message displays if any attempt is made to format any
cylinder, head or sector of any hard disk drive via the BIOS INT 13
Hard Disk Drive Service:
Format!!! Possible VIRUS: Continue (Y/N)?
Select Y or N as appropriate. If you select Y to continue, formatting
proceeds normally. If you do not want to continue formatting, you
may have to select N several times, depending on how many retries
are performed by the upper-level software. For example, DOS does
at least five retries before the Format utility is actually terminated.
NOTE: You should not enable anti-virus protection when format-
ting a hard drive.
