Need to obtain BIOS software

[KingNeil]

Hi, my BIOS information is as follows:

BIOS Information
Vendor: Phoenix
Version: 1.05AD
Release Date: 09/16/2009

I think that I have a virus in my BIOS... and I need to flash my BIOS in order to get the original version of the BIOS back.

The problem is.. I have searched all over the Internet, and cannot seem to find this precise BIOS anywhere, to download, so that I can flash the BIOS and get the original version back.

If it helps.... my computer is an Advent Roma, manufacturer Advent, and model, Roma.

So, if anyone knows where I can find the BIOS software, or if anyone has this computer or another Advent, it would be good if you could let me know.

If you have Linux, you can run the following command to find your BIOS version:

sudo dmidecode | less

If you have Windows, follow this tutorial, in order to find your BIOS:

Thanks a lot.

Have you already take a look at BIOS Central or at BIOS-mods sites?

What makes you think you have a virus in your BIOS. That is extremely rare as most software cannot directly access BIOS.

Google says this but there are different models?

And, yes, I have checked those sites, and I can't find any downloads of my BIOS. As I said, it is
