Once you have procured the firmware update file for Insyde BIOS/UEFI, then you can follow these steps: Usually these updates are located in the “Support” section of their websites. If you have a laptop/notebook computer, then you should get it from the device manufacturer’s website.
If you have a desktop computer, then you should get it from the motherboard manufacturer’s website. You won’t get these updates from the Insyde website. The first obvious step is to find and download the update. If you have a computer that uses Insyde BIOS/UEFI then it is very easy to re-flash or update the firmware. As we explained in a previous article – how to protect against Lojax rootkit, the only way to get rid of these type of malware is to re-flash the firmware in the BIOS/UEFI chip on your motherboard. At this point not many security products are capable of scanning the BIOS/UEFI firmware and therefore these kinds of rootkits are very dangerous.
Some of the malware these days are targeting even the firmware stored on a small BIOS/UEFI chip that resides on your computer’s motherboard.
