Comment:
a computer that has been attacked by a virus and the computer is not working properly. Upon initial inspection, it appears that the computer BIOS has been corrupted by the virus. What action should you take to fix the BIOS? What should you do to prevent this from happening? In one scenario, the setup program will not configure the BIOS. What can you do then? In another scenario, the BIOS settings are constantly being changed. What would you do to resolve this problem?
