[QUOTE="zidong, post: 1112256, member: 115014"] Don't do that. I'm almost 100% sure that malware can't survive UEFI flash and SSD/HDD drive format. Just do it and you are good. edit: I read your thread [URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/my-computer-is-being-hacked-and-remotely-access-and-no-one-can-detect-it.133866/post-1109417']here[/URL]. So...some l0sers in discord have access to uefi rootkit and [B]blow it[/B] to harass you? I doubt it. Probably your pc is infected with Albanian virus. I'm sure that your computer is not infected with a uefi/bios rootkit, but if you are too paranoid, do this: 1. Do not give remote access to anyone. 2. Download and install latest uefi/bios firmware for your motherboard. 3. Format all attached ssd/hdd/usb drives. 4. Do clean Windows installation. [/QUOTE]
