Virus Warning: During and after the system boots up, any attempt to write to the
boot sector or partition table of the hard disk drive will halt the system and an
error message will appear.
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 value 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 will appear 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.
