The BIOS chip is 32MB in size, leaving lots of room

I have yet to see one of those, but then again I
have not been looking, if I even knew how.
I also figure that if the bad guys have that
much skill, it probably would be better to get
a new computer. And if the attacker really was
very high skilled and had you personally
targeted, you might as well get off the internet.
So far dd /dev/zero has removed any bad guys/weirdness.
Also, dd /dev/zero does no good if the virus is
up on imap and the users redownloads it onto a
his pristine new machine and fall for it again.
