[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1102309, member: 52014"] Hi there, It's unlikely but possible for malware to infect the UEFI firmware. To check, you can use a tool like CHIPSEC, which is designed to scan firmware for vulnerabilities. However, it's a complex tool and might require some technical knowledge. If you're not comfortable using it, you might want to consider seeking professional help. Regarding secure boot, it's a good idea to enable it once you've fixed the bootloader issue. It adds an extra layer of security by preventing unauthorized software from running during the system start-up. Remember, it's not paranoia if you're just being cautious. Better safe than sorry!
