I found this message while i was trying to boot up my computer. and, computer suggest that i should back up all data immediately.

first of all, what is Trend Chip away virus? Is it critically dangerous virus?
I also tried to fix it using notorn anti virus. but notorn cannot find that virus.

Second, what do I do for my computer?
My mother and father also use my computer. I don't hope that my parents have trouble in using my computer.

So... I hope to get your advice...

Trend chip away is not a vrus, it is an anti-virus program from trend micro.It was included with some PC's and I think with some motherboards. What it is probably saying is that something ios trying to make changes to the boot sector and warns that it is probably a virus. If you have Norton anti-virus running then ignore the message. You can disable the motherboard anti-virus by entering the bIOS setup and disabling the anti-virus. If you do not know what you are doing in the bIOS it is probably better to get a tech support place to do it for you.
