Version: BIOS Agent 3.55
"Program works fine. The BIOS Service is Questionable!"
Pros: Program is simple, no install. I agree with the c|net review.
Cons: After submitting my results and questions to esupport.com they sent me an email requesting that I call them. I sent them a reply asking that they just email the question(s), and again I receive another email asking that I call. They seem to ignore any email sent and just send out automated responses. After a few weeks of ignoring numerous email requests to call them, they send an email with a link to download the BIOS upgrade, and finally the cost, which was $29.95.
I declined to purchase this BIOS upgrade from esupport.com for failure to answer a few simple questions. I wish there was another company that made BIOS upgrades.
Beware of companies that do not clearly display product prices on their website, and fail to respond to your questions.
Only reason I was interested in a BIOS upgrade was to have USB Boot support for my laptop .

Version: BIOS Agent 3.55
Pros: quick & easy

Version: BIOS Agent 3.55
Pros: Pros:
1. It didn't crash my OS.
2. It didn't register as a virus.
3. I was able to remove it as soon as I realized it was a scam.
Cons: "BIOS agent" utilities have become gimmicks for wily marketers to attract unwary users with $$ to spend on quick fixes that promise to enhance performance. They remind me of fuel additives in auto parts stores that promise to improve engine mileage and increase horsepower while cleaning your windshield and attracting a new girlfriend.
If your computer works, you don't need a "BIOS upgrade."
What does this say about CNET that their editor gave this product 4 stars?
