- I was recently called in to work on a new PC clone, and it had BIOS
- from the Mr. BIOS corporation. And if that wasn't weird enough, this BIOS
- contains some type of antivirus code, perhaps an MBR protector or something.
- Does anyone out there in the real world know anything more about this BIOS
- and the ramifications of BIOS based AV software?

- Thanks in advance,
