Jolly useful for getting into password protected computers at auctions where it is only sensible to test before bidding :-) One place you can get it is: <www.utilitygeek.com Your AV will think it is a virus, ignore that warning, it does so because it writes to cmos. You will have to enter all details after wiping the cmos clean. Cheers	Guest (0)
