Chipaway

Misunderstanding
Description

There is no virus called "Chipaway". However, an anti-virus product built into the ROM BIOS of some computers can display the phrase "Chipaway Virus Enabled" when a computer is booted up.

This poorly chosen phrase was apparently designed to indicate that ROM BIOS anti-virus protection has been enabled.
