Comment on Ask HN: How would you defeat a bootkit?

Comments

Do you trust the bios or UEFI enough to reinstall via unwritable media, you downloaded independently? Was it a Locked boot state? Does it have a locked reinstall image?

Checksums are your friend. If you had a checksum over the post install bios state you can verify reinstalling.

If not, remove the hard drive/ssd media and reconstruct elsewhere.
