I'll try to make it simple for you, little fella.  The virus corrupts
the eeprom.  For the eeprom to be rewritten, the computer must boot.
Without a good bios the computer cannot boot.  Therefore the hardware
is damaged.
I assume you were replying to that message of mine anyway.  You said
you quote only when you are replying.  But you didn't quote, so
perhaps you are just spewing randomly again.
