You obviously know about computers! Thank you for your answer. 🙂
Can you answer the question which I asked previously?
Message-ID: <T56RL.1060071$gGD7....@fx11.iad>
https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-detect-and-get-rid-of-malware-which-resides-in-my-computers-firmware-and-internal-electronics
Is there REALLY such a thing?
I've never observed it, it is possible. My BIOS has protection against
it, so thre must be threats out there. The first answer in Quora is
correct:
****
Removal is the "easier" part: You either flash back original software
into the firmware, exchange the firmware or you can't.
Detection:
1. Symptoms (it behaves differently from original software)
2. Byte by Byte firmware comparison with original one.
****
I would simply flash it with the same as already should be on it. If
it's a PC motherboard BIOS, this can be done within Windows, you used to >> have to load it on using a USB stick within the BIOS. I assume Macs are >> similar? I've never actually been in a Mac's BIOS settings - can you
press a key at power on to get to basic settings before the OS like on a >> PC? I know there are some keys which do special things before the OS
loads when the OS is needing fixed.
As far as I'm aware there is *NO* equivalent to BIOS settings on a Mac. But I'm willing to learn!
I found this, which you may wish to explore:-
https://macpaw.com/how-to/mac-bios-mode#:~:textThey say "On older PCs" which is wrong, they all have a BIOS you can go into and change settings.
They say "UEFI, or unified extensible firmware interface, is the name of the firmware in macOS that does the same job as BIOS on most Windows machines" which is also bollocks, modern PCs also use UEFI, but that doesn't stop there being a big menu of
"Apple doesn’t allow users to navigate UEFI and adjust settings before the macOS loads" - ah now we get down to it. Apple controls everything, you don't get a say on how your own property functions.
So what you need to do is download the BIOS for your mac and reflash it from within the OS. I bet you can't, and you have to pay an Apple shop a billion pounds to do it for you, because they couldn't possibly trust end users to do that.
Get a PC.

If I said that publicly, people (trolls especially) might figure out how to defeat the filters!
At least Joerg is only doing it inadvertently - though why, I can't imagine.

McSoup is a dinosaur from times when postings were downloaded in batches which made filtering on the body possible. Modern Usenet-clients work differently which makes filtering on bodies impossible.
