BIOS based advertising

[MaxConfusion]

Just read a newsletter and thought I should pass it on. Apparently, there is a new bios based program, called PhoenixNet, for advertisers and other parasites to invade your new computer and keep track of your internet habits, which also ends up slowing your machine down, while doing its dirty work. :|

Only some mboard makers are using this crap, including Gigabyte, Epox, MSI and others.

We should let these guys know, we won't tolerate this garbage and they better not force this on us. Advertising is taking over the world !!!

Intentions were good, thanks though. Just do a quick search next time.
