Virus in official BIOS driver

I downloaded *BIOS driver* from *official* Toshiba website download link:
https://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20120814101902.zip
(Redirected from here: https://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp)
Here is BIOS driver [VirusTotal report:|https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/394d02a0bc6763d60cf29e6f261c52b96a2195f8f55fa87e7f b31e04f83ada71/analysis/1421784797/]
As you can see, 3 antivirus programs (Comodo, Trend Micro and AegisLab) flagged the file as *suspicious* / *trojan*.
The file is old version of BIOS (v1.60), the newest one is v6.80. It is *not* *digitaly signed*. I accidentaly ran it from my laptop (I have the newest BIOS version already installed, so when I ran v1.60, it seems it didn't install, just showed popup, something like "newer version already installed").
Questions for *certified* *Toshiba technicians* (I want *official answer*):
1. Maybe that's just a *false positive* detection. Can you *GUARANTEE* this file is *CLEAN / VIRUS FREE*?
2. If it is *virus*, how to *disinfect* my laptop? Keep in mind that if this is BIOS virus I could eliminate it only by reflashing BIOS, but how to do so when my laptop BIOS comes only with .exe file (there's no .ISO file to burn BIOS to CD and it's not possible to flash BIOS inside Windows, because I already have the newest version, or you know some workaround for this?). Opening laptop is also impossible, because it's under warranty.
PS: I have already contacted mentioned antivirus companies (submitted suspicious BIOS driver file). I will post their answers.

>Questions for certified Toshiba technicians (I want *official answer*)
Then please don't expect answer here on user-to-user forum.
Visit http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/ and there you can find Toshiba ASPs in your country. Contact nearest ASP and tell them what do you want exactly.
All offered drivers are tested but you can clarify everything with Toshiba ASP. If there is some problem they can contact Toshiba and clarify this issue.
Im 100% sure you are not the first or last person who has updated BIOS with this version.
By the way: which notebook model do you have exactly?

Updating BIOS Driver for G30-163

After recovering from an XP crash I have all but restored the system. However I need to re-install the BIOS driver so that the s/w auto updateworks. However I can't find this model listed even in the Archives. Which driver do I need to download and install please? Many thanks.

Correct - very many thanks - after many year's of use I never realised that - it is indeed PQG31E - and I have now downloaded the BIOS driver file OK.

[P67-GD65 B3] Safe way to flash 4.2 official bios and why.

Hi all!
I am still trying to remedy my problem with too high (~1.43V) voltage while 4.5GHz OC (turbo or not) with "vdroop low" enabled. Now I am on 4.39 and it`s ok on (non turbo/manual x42) 4.2GHz and auto voltage (it`s ~1.288V while Prime, etc). I know that 4.20 official bios gives % vdroop settings. I want to try it to avoid my problem but I can not find 4.20 package ready to go with MSIHQ flasher. Actually all 4.xx MSIHQ versions go from 4.3x.
I am wondering if it is possible just to compress "valcheck.com" with 4.20 official bios file and throw it via Mode 1 to MSIHQ(?)
BTW: Maybe it (flashing 4.20) does not make any sense because "%" vdroop on 4.20 will not give me anything higher then "Auto" voltage settings. I think I need ~1,38V to get stable 4.5GHz. Any other ideas?
I could try manual voltage for CPU but I want to stay with energy saving c-states. I am using C1E with my non turbo OC.
I know You can find my problem a bit boring but maybe forum's Gurus could give me a green or red light(?)

Just to report!
Yesterday I finally tried to down-flash from 4.39 to 4.20 with MSIHQ. Risk taken Happily it was success!
But boy ... I should read carefully comments about 4.20 bios (grammar lost). I did not know that on this bios 100% vdroop is not ... How to say it? It is not 100% of "vdroop low" but rather 100% of "vdroop auto". So it not helped me with my main problem. I am now back to 4.39 beta bios.
BTW1: After some tests, I found that while on CPU voltage on "Auto" my CPU max voltage is ~1,29V (never more, it stabilize more or less from x40 multi CPU) while stress testing. Switching to "Low vdroop" I get above 1.4V just from x40 multi. Something is not right. It goes up with higher multi.
I tried to workaround this by Control Center. Switched to lower multi in bios, switched vdroop to "low" (voltage was OK and below the 1,4V line while stress testing) and then bump up multi in CC. Guess what ... Voltage was also bumped to the same (too high) values.
BTW2: I started to think that above problem may be my fault. From start with my P67-GD65 I experimented with OC Genie and maybe I switched some values or even reseted CMOS while using OC Genie (I know that was warning about it). I don't know, but maybe it damaged something and my motherboard behaves like this for good :/
I think that it is the end of my experiments. Bios 4.20 (% vdroop) was my last resort, but it failed.
Big thanks for all that tried to help me . It started 07-April-12:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=158139.msg1161554#msg1161554
I have to stay on x42 with ~1.288 voltage or go above x45 with more than 1.43V.

Reposting: x3750 M4 SED Drives Stuck at boot with BIOS Drive Security

This post was originally posted on IBM’s developerWorks public forum (https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id=262ef99a-30bf-48bd-861c-e78eddc55c...) The following is a summary of the post issue and the response.
Issue:
I have an x3750 M4 system with M5210 Controller, 1GB Flash RADI 5 option installed, and 8 SED drives. The BIOS "Drive Security" is activated. The previously password does not work and the system gets in a loop prompting again for the pass phrase. When the cache, and thus the support for SED drives, is removed, the server boots fine.
Response:
The first step is to update the ServeRAID firmware. See RETAIN tip number H213237 “ServeRAID: UEFI use of SED pass phrase causes system restart - IBM System x” (https://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/myportal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5096178&brandind=5000008)
If that does not work, then the system board and ServeRAID require replacement. Please contact support for this option.

In case anyone wonders, my "solution" was to change to a WB Elements Desktop 3TB (only USB 2.0 is currently available for this model). I miss the speed of USB 3.0, but it's much nicer to not have to remember to unplug and plug in the hard drive each time I boot.
Still hoping to see a proper solution to this (since I don't have the WB My Book anymore, I can't test adaher's suggestion).

Virus, or faulty USB drive?

I plugged in my USB drive into my Macbook Pro and it suddenly disconnected while I was renaming a folder. When I plugged it back in, I realised a large chunk of my files were gone, and I had a whole bunch of files with jumbled letters as their name in my USB pendrive. I checked and they were "Alias" files it seems.
Is this a sign of a virus, or is the problem my USB pendrive?

That's not a virus. Disconnecting any drive unexpectedly has the potential to cause problems, including corruption of the drive and subsequent data loss. Try repairing the drive using Disk Utility (found in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder).
If that doesn't work, do you have the files on that drive backed up anywhere? If not, you may be about to learn the hard way why backups are important. Try recovering what files you can using Data Rescue 3.

What makes you think that. OpenAL works just fine on Audigy cards. Playing BF2 in vista sounds just the same as in XP on my A4.

Latest official bios for 980 gaming ?

I know, another thread, but please dont close it, im really noob at finding bios'es and looking on them.
So the official latest bios for 980 gaming is ? And if i flash it what im gonna get ?
Also i've heard people talking about "modded bios" whats a modded bios ? And if i flash it what i can really get ? Larger power limit ?
My card does fine at 1.237V and 1510mhz max boost.
Should i hassle with the bios'es ?

Quote from: CalinTM on 01-November-14, 21:55:11
I know man, i just asked if there is some other official bios available, and if its worth it to flash it.
Im not gonna flash anything. Just wanted to know the info if there is something etc. My card does just fine at 1510mhz.
I would be interested to know what afterburner settings you are using to get that speed? What GPU temperature is it running at under load?

Satellite X200-253: Need BIOS driver

Hi
I have a X200-253 and I need bios driver but not BIOS.ROM only BIOS.WPH.
Can you help me
Message was edited by: chowano

Why do you want this specific file?
It is enough to perform BIOS update via the setup file provided in the BIOS package you can download from Toshiba download page.
Just tried and downloaded this package and it contains only setup.exe and rom file.
I think there is no way to get this file you want, as it is not included.

Those look alot like file names and not infection names. I don't find any reference to anything like that on Norton or VirusTotal. Since you said these were Trojans, I would expect to see "Trojan" as part of the infection name.
".jar" files are executable Java applets. The random alpha-numerics would seem to indicate a cache file, likely from a browser with Java enabled. And we all know what ".zip" means.
Worst case is that you had Java enabled in a browser and were infected by one of the late variants of the Flashback Trojan over a year ago or one of a couple of other attacks using the same vulnerability but targetted against a small number of political sympathizers. Much more probable is that thes were Windows only Trojans. Hopefully you have a fully up-to-date OS X, including Java, and have disabled Java in all your browsers by now.

Wich bios driver for 915P neo2 platinum-54g

915P neo2 platinum-54g m-board
P4 630 3,0GHZ cpu
2*512M Kingston 533MHz DDR2
Club3d 128MB Radeon x300se hypermem PCI-E
not sure of the power, but think it's 300w, 20-pin connector. (waiting a new power on monday, 400w ultra-low noise)
Sound Blaster Live! Platinum
So I read from the MSI site that the 915p neo2 platinum doesnt support p4 630, but the cpu support list says it does after the bios update..
But now Im not sure wich bios driver to use cause I cant find the exact model from the site.
I use that comp as a music studio comp and I get a crash in about half an hour the comp is on.. (using cubase program)
At first the crash appeared at cubase startup, but after I updated the g-card & s-card drivers the crash was post-poned to that half an hour..
But still, when I try the Core Center programs Auto overclocking test it crashes almost straight away.. Once I got from 200MHz to 205 MHz
Other times it crashed straight away..
So I think myself that the bios driver is the key, but Im not sure of it.
Or wich driver to use.. the 915P Neo2 Platinum (7028v18) or 915P Neo2 Platinum v1.0b (7028v36)

use MSI life update to update your BIOS, to minimise to kill your mobo.
its not connected to the internet and I dont want to connect it cause its for music only...

Check virus of external hard drive (in a safe way) and TPM security chip request

Hello.
Context, complain:
I had few trouble with my new lenovo R61. But today everything is alright, downgrade to xp ok, driver graphic card ok, partitioning ok. Westerday I was in the same point with Avast anti virus installed, comodo firewall install. I decide to install spybot and check an external hard drive. I allowed the choice of spybot to do something with some "dangerous files". After this point I was not allowed to do nothing in the computor. "your not allowed to shut down the computer". "your not allowed to...contact admin". "your not allowed"....
I forced the restart, press blue, recovered the system and decide to accept the norton help, so I have norton install.
Request1:
I want to check my external I drive with any risk for the system, what can I do, I'm I in risk as I plug in?
Request2:
Second small problem, when I try to enrolled my finger, it ask me for TPM code that I do not have. Is it safe to go in the bios and clear security chip, I see some warning in the doc.
Thanks
Tom
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok thanks!
I've resolve both problem yesterday evening,
My computer is now ready to operate and my hard drive looks clean now (that's what says norton and sophos anti-virus). I hope that is true. That's was quiet stressfull to have a virus attack after 1 day. Somebody suggest me that's maybe I don't restart before using Spybot creating a big mess in the registry.... I'll never now.
But now ALL GOOD YEAH

Can a Virus cause an external drive to be invisible

hi folks,
i used my mac book pro to shovel some really, really old files I kept on CDs all the time onto my external western digital "my passport" 2.5" drive. I am using the drive already quite a while but after copying a few CDs I was first unable to eject the CD. Then my system got really slow. I forced to restart the finder application. The system nearly crushed and I had to hard reset my machine.
Once the system had started up again, I could eject the CD but from then on my external drive didn't show anymore on the left hand side of the finder. When I open the disk utility application the external drive is listed. And when I check the file system the following result comes up. (Note: (über)prüfen means to check)
Volume „My Passport“ überprüfen
Dateisystem prüfen** /dev/disk1s1
** Phase 1 - Preparing FAT
** Phase 2 - Checking Directories
** Phase 3 - Checking for Orphan Clusters
221807 files, 49154784 KiB free (1536087 clusters)
However, the disk utility application is able to find the external disk. Thus, I was wondering if the copied files (mainly mp3's of which I am not totally sure where some of them are from) my contain any virus that I now have put on my mac os x? I have never had these files on my mac before. they are that old, they are still from my time as a windows user, sorry.
hope anyone has an idea what might be going on here. Is there any chance to check my system for viruses or malware os x internally. As far as I have read, anti virus programs of third parties are not really recommendable for mac users...

I'm not really understanding entirely what you saw, but I will tell you that it's not a virus. That's just not how malware works on the Mac.
You say that you saw the external hard drive in Disk Utility and repaired it, but then you said Disk Utility can't find the external drive. Does that mean that it was there, but then disappeared? Or does it mean that you can see the physical drive in Disk Utility, but not the volume?
If the drive itself no longer shows up in Disk Utility, there's probably a hardware problem. There may be a connection problem (loose cable, etc) or the drive itself may have died.
If the drive is visible but the volume is missing, it's probably become extremely badly corrupted. You'll want to repartition (erase) the drive, assuming there's nothing on it that isn't backed up somewhere else, and start over.

GT70 2OD downloads bios driver firmware

i have GT70 2OD-019US
i tried to update my graphic card driver from http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT70-2OD.html#download
it didnt work it said not compatiable
im using latest beta driver from nvidia webiste
you guys have right stuff on the website
there is so much variation i didnt see GT70 2OD-019US link so i guess i could use downloads from GT70 20D
maybe im wrong
download was hard to find and stuff not working
support sucks

Quote from: spacealien on 17-September-13, 04:21:57
im confused just as you are.
I like to keep my stuff updated to the latest so i went to nvidia website
download the driver for geforce gtx 780m
i tried to install the driver but it wont let me install cuz it's not compatible with my card
so i went to the link above download the oem graphic card driver which im not too clear it's right one for my laptop
cuz it's doesn't say gtx 780 it says something like nvidia n14 chipset i have no idea what it mean
i installed it cuz that's all i can find for my laptop. it let me install but my geforce card doesn't work
my laptop switch over to intel graphic card and my nvidia card has red x on it under device tree
fortunately i found the latest beta nvidia work on my laptop otherwise i could ended up with non working video card
the title
all the downloads im not sure they are right stuff for my laptop
i updated bios, firmware, and some of the driver
they are working so far i haven't found any problem with them
the graphic card driver make me think that maybe the stuff i updated might not be right for my laptop
im confused with many gt 70 series
http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win8-win7-64bit-326.80-beta-driver.html
Try that driver.
The problem with the 320.49 'release' drivers is that they don't include the proper information to work with the newer GTX7XXM video cards on MSI laptops. You need to download the latest beta drivers, as they have the proper information to work. The next release, whatever that might be, should work just fine then.
As far as the other drivers...
http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT70-2OC.html#download
should have all the drivers you need. You can try going to the individual manufacturer website to update them too, such as Intel for the Intel iGPU.

AMD Radeon HD5770 with official AMD driver

Hi all,
I just installed Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium on my new 6-core Mac Pro with Boot Camp. So far no problems, except that I can't install the official Catalyst drivers from AMD/ATI's homepage - the installation goes through, however it fails with en error saying that the Video Driver couldn't be installed. I previously installed all Boot Camp drivers.
Anyone had the same problems already? I need the official AMD drivers because I have more than one display and want to group them with Eyefinity for gaming.
Thanx in advance,
CJ

Hi Stefan and others!
Uninstalling all ATI drivers and reinstalling from scratch didn't help - somehow the latest ATI display driver has an issue with the Mac Pro - however what helped was intalling the shipped Apple ATI driver (from Bootcamp) AFTER installing the latest official drivers - that way only the control manager installed first and after the error message the ATI driver that Apple delivers installed fine. So now I have an Eyefinity display array working flawlessly over 2 displays!
Maybe installing only the control center after the Bootcamp drivers would have also worked.
Cheers,
CJ
