If this option is enabled, an alarm message will be displayed when trying to write
on the boot sector or on the partition table on the disk, which is typical of the
virus.
CPU Internal and External Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is faster than conventional DRAM
(system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up contain internal cache memory,
and most, but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory.
When the CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested data from the
main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster access by the CPU. These allow
you to enable (speed up memory access) or disable the cache function.
