any other firmware pci/dma devices attached to the system can be infected. BIOS might not even securely flash properly depending how you are doing it. For example doing it from operating system (DOS) might not be truly removing the malware. Might need a special dedicated device to flash it or ask company to send you a new bios chip to solder on. to be 100% sure you need to buy a new pc unfortunately lol. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
