Can a virus infect the BIOS of a computer?
yes - If the BIOS of your computer is infected then, since it is hard-coded (firmware) on a chip, you could have irreparable damage. Also most anti-virus programs work within your operating system (Windows or MacO/S) so they don't detect BIOS infections. The only way to repair your BIOS is, if it can be, to Flashit. This is the process used to update the firmware on your BIOS chip. Check your computer or motherboard manufacturer to obtain the flash application, and the instructions for running it. Flashing the BIOS should place a new, uninfected version of firmware on the chip.
Why is it useful to run the utility from a bootable floppy disk or CD rather than from windows?
Windows uses Protected Mode, which (normally) prohibits raw access to a disk drive and other hardware. Also, if a system is infected with a virus, that virus would already be active, and may affect the performance of the utility (i.e. by hiding itself, disabling the scanner, etc). By using a utility that does not need Windows, you can prevent a virus from loading, which allows for a clean scan. Or if the utility needs direct hardware access, it can do so without needing elevated privileges and/or special drivers. Also, some motherboard functions, such as a BIOS flash, can only be performed in "unprotected mode", which is the BIOS's way of preventing a virus from infecting the BIOS (which would render the virus invincible, and/or completely damage the computer beyond repair).
