Virus Warning:
When this feature is enabled, if there is any attempt from a software or an application to
access the boot sector or the partition table, the BIOS will warn you that a boot virus is

This item is used to enable or to disable the CPU level 1 cache. When the cache is set to
Disabled, it is much slower, so the default setting for this item is Enabled since it will speed
