Installation problem

I formatted my C: drive and I needed to install Win 95 again.
But, I got an error message stated: " Setup Detection Warning
Warning SU-0409
Windows Setup was unable to upgrade your system files.
This may be caused by virus detection that is built in to your computer.
To disable built in virus detection, you will need to run the configuration program that came with your computer, or contact the computer manufacturer.
To disable virus detection software running on your computer, you may need to remove the lines that start the program from your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files.
After you have disabled the virus detection, restart your computer. and then run setup again."

I do not know if the probem is on the BIOS( battery's problem).
Also, I could not enter the SETUP (CMOS) because I don't know the password to use to enter SETUP.

I would guess that a BIOS virus protection option is turned on and
needs to be turned off. Is there really a password protecting the BIOS
setup program? I haven't heard of that trick!

Your first stop is the documentation for your computer (or
motherboard, if you bought that separately). That should tell you what
to do to reset a password, whether the one must be supplied to get the
machine to boot, or the one you describe that guards entry into the
setup routine. If you can't find that documentation, a Google search
might work for you.

If all else fails, remove the BIOS battery for a few minutes. This
will cause the BIOS to forget *everything* it knows, including the
passwords. You may have to reenter some data into the BIOS, especially
information about your floppy drives. (With automatic detection of
hard drives, you don't have to worry much about configuring them.)
