I vaguely remember a motherboard I had, that with the bios setting to
turn on virus checking, a message appeared at bootup regarding the
message you may be recieving.

I searched this & discovered the wording of the message was missleading.
It didn't really discover a virus.  Just that the virus checking option
was active.  Harmless.

But then, I'm no guruu either (can't even spell it)
