BIOS means Basic Input Output System. BIOS is actually firmware, the software that is programmed into a ROM (Read-Only Memory) chip built onto the motherboard of a computer. BIOS is what makes the system run an initial Power-On Self-Test of the computer, initialize circuits, load the boot program from the boot disk, and then handle low-level I/O to peripheral controllers such as keyboard and display.

You get into it by hitting the F2 Key when booting, try the other first without going into the BIOS

Always check any attachments with Virus software before opening no matter who it's from. Most emails or at least yahoo mail has built in virus checker.

I hate those OE exceptions there so hard to track down. I'll see what I can find on it.
