Re: Big Security Risk with F8 Boot Menu.

As one of my instructors used to say "If you can touch
the case then it is not secure.". If someone has the time
and opportunity to plug in an unauthorized USB device and
reboot the computer they would also have time to open the
case and reset the CMOS (and passwords). You might try USB
port locks (hardware) if you don't need any USB ports.
