| 247624 | 2004-06-25 23:54:00 | When booting up my Win 98 PC this morning I got the following message: "Trend ChipAwayVirus has detected a boot virus on your hard disk. The operating system is not supported by ChipAwayVirus. Press <Enter> for more information (recommended) <C> to continue booting." I use Nortons Anti-Virus and Zone Alarm, and keep up to date. I am totally confused by the message. Advice appreciated. KB. |

| 247626 | 2004-06-26 00:11:00 | Thanks for your reply Mark. I looked where directed but couldn't connect my problem and where you sent me. KB. | kbcad (1025) | ||
| 247627 | 2004-06-26 00:18:00 | It is actually a basic antivirus contained in the BIOS. It can be turned off in the BIOS, but my first inclination is to advise you to get a "second opinion" over Nortons. Suggest you do the online scan at Trend Micro (housecall.antivirus.com) . | Pheonix (280) | ||
| 247628 | 2004-06-26 00:39:00 | Thanks, Pheonix - I rceived similar advice from a local PC friend, and turned off virus detect in the BIOS. Up and running again, but will follow your advice re Trend Micro site. Regards, KB. | kbcad (1025) | ||

| 247631 | 2004-06-26 03:49:00 | A temporary outage perhaps? The link works OK here. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 247633 | 2004-06-26 05:22:00 | Works for me . The contents of that page are: Chipaway Antivirus Question:when I start up my computer as it is scaning everything I receive a highlited sentence that says "Trend-chipaway virus[R] on Guard Ver1 . 63A" Then at the bottom of the page I get another sentence that is highlited that says press F1 to continue and I do and everything continues on as normal . What is this virus alert about and how do I eliminate it? Thanks for any help . John Answer: Trend-Chipaway is antivirus "protection" built into the system BIOS . This can trigger false virus alerts when it doesn't recognise the operating system that you have installed . It can be disabled by going into the BIOS . Next locate the Virus Scanning feature . For machines with AMI BIOS, this is under the Advanced menu heading . For machines with Award BIOS, check the Anti Virus Protection heading . Locate Trend ChipAway Virus or Anti-virus option and change or toggle its setting to Disable . Without making any further configuration changes, save the new settings and restart the computer . Finally, to properly protect your system from viruses, make sure that you have a good antivirus program installed on your computer and that you keep the signature files up to date . |
