Virus
I have a virus, computer was working fine but then it started deleting text when i pressed a certain key, then when i tried to attach pictures to email it asked if i wanted to erase it.
i rebooted and now when i turn the pc on it boots to BIOS, theres no way i can bypass the BIOS options, keyboard wont let me hit F12 to goto safe mode.
Really frustrating, can anyone help?

You sure it's a virus? Sounds more likely that the keyboard is possibly wonky

Re: Virus
Corrupt BIOS then, reset the bios via the jumper, try again, if no luck then see if you can bootblock the bios with a floppy/cd with the latest bios on it..

Re: Virus
Sounds like the delete key is being detected as pressed
