message to appear when anything attempts to access the boot sector or hard disk partition table:

Disabled: No warning message will appear when an attempt is made to access the boot sector or

hard disk partition table.

Note:

This function is available only for DOS and other operating systems that do not trap INT13. For

complete protection against viruses, install virus software in your operating system and update the

virus definitions regularly.

Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot sector table can trigger the virus warning

message. If you plan to run such a program, we recommend that you disable the virus warning.
