itman 1,627 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) Someone asked me a question on how Eset protects against this for UEFI BIOS and what component does so. Any tech references for this would be greatly appreciated. Quote Concerned with the security of our users, ESET includes an additional protection layer against UEFI bootkits. The advantage in this case is that our suite is able to scan the UEFI-enabled firmware without resorting to additional tools that may pose risks to the system. Therefore, it becomes much more user-friendly for regular users to scan their computer for stealth malware in firmware.
