As previous answers have pointed out, it comes from bios. The key question is how you get the warning -- Do you dual boot between Windoze and Linux? If so, that's the reason. I strongly suggest again turning off virus warning in order just to avoid such warnings -- because they are actually real. Boot virus won't cause you any harm while you boot into Linux, but for brain-dead Windoze, you won't be that lucky. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
