The following explains the options for each feature:
Anti-Virus Protection:
When enabled, any attempt to write to the
boot sector or partition table will halt the system and cause a warning
message to appear. If this happens, you can use an anti-virus utility
on a virus free, bootable floppy diskette to reboot and clean your sys-
tem. The default setting is “Disabled.”
CPU Internal Cache:
This Setting enables the CPU internal cache.
The default setting is “Enabled.”
