Your BIOS is read only. That is what ROM stands for, "read only memory". You cannot "write" to your BIOS. You can only blank it out, and reflash it again. The virus did nothing to your BIOS, except maybe make some setting changes, which could be corrected instantly by just resetting it to the defaults. Your friend may have reflashed the BIOS just to be safe about everything, but it was more for peace of mind than it actually fixed anything. Just the fact that he was able to reflash it proves there was nothing wrong with it, if there was, the board would be dead and then you would have no recourse but to return it.
