Spyware in your BIOS ROM chip??
Been wracking my brain(good luck there )and searching my favs trying to find it again, but no luck so far.
It was an article that said Phoenix/Award has struck a deal with several Motherboard mfg's including Abit,Aopen and others to slip a phone home application into their ROM chips under the guise of helping the buyer to understand and configure BIOS settings.
If true, wouldn't this be a piece of spyware that NO one could get rid of?
Can anyone shed any light on this?(i'll keep looking and post back if/when i find the article.
Sounds like a "bummer" to me!!
