on my cmos, it has a built in virus protector. and on my comp i have it dual booted win2k/linux (mandrake 8.1). and when i went to load win2k, the virus protector came on sayin that there was a virus in the boot sector. but it went ahead and loaded win fine, and then i used norton to check it, and it said otherwise. and also i configed linux to boot on lilo, and it never did, it always used grub. so then i turned it off, and now it uses lilo just fine, and it uses all of the configs that i had set up. so i kinda figured, (not knowin much about linux bein a begginer and all), that linux had put a code on the boot sector that made it think things or sumthin, i mean i think i know, just hard to explain it. but i just wanted to know if anyone knew exactly what happened with it. sorry so long.
