Chinese firm discovers BIOS-based virus - Technology - GMA News Online - Latest Philippine News: "A Chinese security firm has claimed to discover a new Trojan that attacks a computer’s underlying system: the Basic Input-Output System (BIOS).
The company, “360," said the “BMW Virus" (Mebromi) can infect a chain BIOS (motherboard chip program), MBR (master boot drive) and Microsoft Windows system files, The Hacker News reported.
Citing a translation of the Chinese firm’s claims, The Hacker News warned that efforts to “reinstall the system, regardless of the victim computer, format the hard disk, or replace the hard disk can not completely remove the virus.""
