47666 2002-05-08 06:08:00 I think you can. had to cleanout Anticmos.A* Boot sector virus puter at work. Not sure about the BIOS though. Guest (0)
47667 2002-05-08 07:05:00 No, it is not possible to get a virus in the BIOS/CMOS yet, however there is a virus that will erase the BIOS/CMOS via flash rom upgrade, that is why all the 'newer' motherboards include a feature to 'lock' firmware so it cannot be flashed until you decide. Guest (0)
