The file Steven Walley mentioned earlier, KillCMOS.zip is now on
The NOSPIN Group file download page:  http://nospin.com/pc/files.html

I tested it quickly on two computers here on my workbench and it does
work as advertised.  Because of the nature of this file, be sure to read
the README file enclosed.

Thanks to Steven Walley for sending the file into us.
