Using HP Sure Start (select models only)

Select computer models are configured with HP Sure Start, a technology that continuously monitors your 
computer's BIOS for attacks or corruption. If the BIOS becomes corrupted or is attacked, HP Sure Start 
restores the BIOS to its previously safe state, without user intervention. Those select computer models ship

advanced users.
