CMOS De-Animator

CMOS De-Animator is a security tweaking utility built specifically for helping users clear, save, or restore the CMOS memory items, which store essential data about BIOS settings.

Due to system errors or failures, the BIOS settings may be erased or lost, so this is way it is advisable to backup the information included in the CMOS memory area.

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry. You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to backup BIOS settings on the fly.

CMOS De-Animator sports a clean and straightforward interface that gives users the possibility to select the number of bytes to operate with (64, 128 or 256), and choose the action that they want to proceed with, namely delete, save, or restore the CMOS items.

By default the BIOS settings are saved to DEA file format and you can restore them pretty easily. Since it doesn’t require much computer knowledge to work with this tool, even less experienced users can master the tool with just a few clicks.

During our testing we have noticed that CMOS De-Animator carries out a task very quickly and without errors throughout the entire process.

As it would be expected from such a small utility, it manages to remain light on the system resources, so it doesn’t burden the overall performance of the computer, nor interfere with other programs’ functionality.

All things considered, CMOS De-Animator offers a simple software solution when it comes to deleting, saving, or restoring BIOS settings with minimum effort.
