This is my last try for successful help before I trash my p/c. I am unable to rid my p/c of malware. I have taken it twice to a local computer shop. The first time they claimed to have removed the infection. They didn't and I rook it back and asked that my 2 hard drives be wiped. This failed to rid the malware as well. I removed the 2 drives and put in a new hard drive. My p/c is still infected. Can malware infect the bios? Below is my scan using hijackthis:
Thanks
