Well given that the BIOs is not flash-able to clean the infection, to any person of avg, or less then avg computer skill
this will mean that the infected computer with this bogus bios, will be rooted until someone goes in to the bios code
and does what the attacker had done, which is to "Patch and compensate the 8 bit check sum" to restore the bios to the un infected state. This will be wonderful for PC companys, as they will sell new pc's to replace infected one's =) .
