Google Search itself doesn't provide a way for a hacker to add malicious settings or scripts directly. However, if they have access to your Google account, they could potentially alter other settings or data linked to your account. It's important to secure your Google account with a strong password and two-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access. Also, be cautious about the information you share online and the websites you visit.

If malware interacts with the bios via the registry, does that make it a firmware malware that imbeds itself into the BIOS?

If malware interacts with the bios via the registry, does that make it a firmware malware that imbeds itself into the BIOS?

Not necessarily. Interacting with the BIOS via the registry doesn't mean the malware has embedded itself into the BIOS. Firmware malware, also known as BIOS malware, directly targets and embeds itself into the firmware of the system, not through the operating system or registry. It's a highly sophisticated type of attack and is relatively rare due to the complexity involved in its execution. If you suspect such an infection, a complete firmware or BIOS update or reflash may be necessary.

What might a malware get by quering or reading the bios registry?

Malware that queries or reads the BIOS could potentially gather various system information. This could include hardware details, system configuration, boot settings, or other low-level data. This information could be used to tailor further attacks, exploit system vulnerabilities, or bypass security measures. It's crucial to maintain updated security software to protect against such threats.

What if it creates stuff within the bios registry? Would resetting windows reset this?

What if it creates stuff within the bios registry? Would resetting windows reset this?

If malware creates entries within the BIOS, resetting Windows won't necessarily remove it, as the BIOS is separate from the operating system. BIOS malware is rare but potentially serious, as it persists beyond operating system reinstallations. If you suspect BIOS malware, you may need to reflash your BIOS, which means replacing the firmware entirely. This is a complex process and typically should be performed by a professional.

Entries with the windows registry section for the BIOS

If malware has altered the Windows registry related to BIOS settings, a Windows reset should restore the registry to its default state, eliminating those changes. However, remember to back up important data before performing a reset, as this process will remove installed applications and personal settings. If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, consider seeking professional help.
