Do you mean that there is virus protection in the BIOS, and you don't know the password for it, or some other sort of virus protection? If the former (and if you dare to tinker after your recent experiences!) then you can usually disable bios passwords. There are some default passwords e.g. AMI for AMI bios. Or you can usually disable all your bios settings with a motherboard jumper (make sure that you make a note of all the settings before you do this! especially the hard disk type/heads/cyl/sect as you will need to restore these afterwards). -- Simon Child GP Bury, Lancs %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
