Hi, I recently got infected by trojan.flashkiller virus, since then, there seem to be problem with my bios. Let me explain. there are 2 speed i can pick in bios setup 1153 and 1533 i think,, and i used to have mine on 1533 b4. (standart for AMD XP1800+) but now if i put it there, my compu doesnt boot and returns a black screen from the start. if i set it on 1153 it works fine but its too slow. I was wondering y i cannot set it on 1553?? plz help..TT
ps. also, my help doesn't work from windows. i can manualy find the file on harddrive but cannot read it and through numorous anti-virus i found no problem after finding trojan.flashkiller at first place

hi jason, try the CIH fix. go to wilders.org and download the free Chernobl fix(CIH) and apply it to see if your free of the trojan. all the best, murve

Trojan.Flashkiller only works on the 9x platform...you're using XP.
Did you upgrade to XP, perchance?
From what I can see, this puppy fires off IMMEDIATLY, and tries to delete the files on the hard drive. Did you also have a huge loss of files?
I think this is just something wrong either within the BIOS or the motherboard itself.
