I ran a virus scan on my PC and it confirmed what i had thought, that the PC had contracted the chernobal virus or w95.CIH.1049
When I ran the virus scanning SW on the PC it said i had over 100 virus’ the large majority were showing as the afforementioned virus (about 97 to be exact) amongst other virus’)
I have since formatted both hard-disks on the PC and took the CMOS battery out of the Motherboard.
I have booted the PC from a clean bootdisk and re-installed WIn98 ran multiple virus scans using Norton 2002 and all seems to be ok.
The thing is when i go into the BIOS and look at the main screen it says:
Base memory-640k
Extended memory 130048k
Other memory 384k
I know what the first two do and are for but what is the other memory?
I do not seem to recall ever having this other memory on my board (Chaintech, Pentium ii).
Could this 384k be a memory resident virus?
Any help advice much appreciated.
P.S. I am now armed to the teeth with Anti-Virus SW.
