Default flashing bios

i think i have a bios problem with my computer after trend anti-virus
showed me a boot sector virus alert. i want to flash the bios and went
to the mainboard manucfacturer's website and download the file but on
unzipping it, i discovered there was no instruction in it for doing so,
i.e flashing but instead found only one file with .rom extension.
how do i resolve this issue?
thanks
david

Return to where you got the file. Look for a flash program and
instructions. You usually need a bootable diskette, the flash program and
the ROM file. You boot from the diskette, then run the flash program and
follow the on-screen instructions.

i have a .exe program on my systemboard called AMIxxx.exe on the
utilities section/folder which i think is for flashing the board and
found a .rom file on the net. I don't want to do something wrong and
end up short. do you think with a bootable diskette this two could be
compatible or do i look for a flash program or write to the manc.? will
really appreciate your help.
