HD plus Motherboard rootkit infection
If both a HD and the motherboard firmware are infected by a trojan virus, how does one go about disinfecting? For the Mobo, does a Bios flash with updates take care of it?
But which one to do first? It seems that upon wipe/reinstall, the HD could get infected immediately again by the Mobo, and vice versa for the Mobo.
I'm thinking HD wipe, then Mobo flash, then HD format/reinstall... still not completely foolproof, but does that make sense or not?
