Bios Question

[Guest]

ok i have a horrid virus/trojan on my computer and it does no allow me to
reformat my hard-drive i was just goin to wipe the drive and restat but i hae
to reset the bios manually to have the computer boot. i just remove the
motherboard battery to do this. so when i do that i try to reset my primay
drive or the drive i want to load first to my CD-rom so i can reformat but it
doesnt allow me to save and it skips the normal boot sequancy for me to pess
f8 or f10 to even try. i cant access explorer because i get a judo chop from
almost 20 pop ups and once. Ucmore is one of the many now programs that have
been added to my computer. i blieve that the main files of this is theese
dfndrff_e28 drsmartload1 kybrdff_e28 nwnmff_e28 im pretty sure thhese are it
but i cant even get into Safe Mode to remove them its horrid and i dead how
to physically wipe a harddrive or am i screwwed and will i have to get a new
one

As you do not mention make and/or model, contact the vendor and ask how you
return your system back to the state in which you purchased it, or employ
the services of a local reputable repairer.

Pulling the battery only serves to reset the entire BIOS to its creation
date, most likely some time during 1999, so your date and time will be
wrong. The more usual way to enter BIOS is to press the DEL key, or in some
cases, F1 or F2. These are shown on the Splash screen at start-up, or are
contained in a manual (subject to one having been supplied).

In BIOS, there is ALWAYS a way to 'Save and Exit', but you are just not
seeing it. For more help here, you will have to provide make and model, and
a list whatever CDs were originally supplied with your system.
