Title: How to use dual bios
Post by: versatile on February 23, 2013, 08:42:22 pm

Hello everybody

I have purchased H61M-S2PV. This MB is equipped with Dual UEFI Bios.

However I can't find any info in the manual that explain how to use this feature when problems occur. What shall I do when BIOS is broken/infected with a virus? How to use this feature?

 What is more I can't find an option that prevents the BIOS from updating. I think it is a good precaution as viruses can not upload malicious programs into BIOS when this item is off.

 ???

Thanks for the link.

A virus can change BIOS settings so the computer can boot up - in this case there will be no use of the dual bios as the bios will not notice it.

I think that there should be an option to disable flashing bios, to prevent any unwanted modification. Am I right? I can't find such an option.

I would feel much safer if I could disable it. And only enable while flashing bios.
