Hi,

I am not sure, but some virus are now avaible on bios (confiker).
The only solution seem to be like apple have efi or for pc uefi
espacially gnufi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNUFI which is the free
solution.
But I am not sure that, at this time, uefi componment solution exist for
laptop.

Happy Hacking!
