Once it's gotten into the BIOS via an attached corrupt file, Mebromi then loads itself onto the PC's master boot record (MBR), another component that gets executed prior to the loading of a computer's operating system.

Viruses are becoming more and more sophisticated and harder to remove. I started to realize this when neither Windows Defender nor antivirus could detect the miner in my computer. I had to use additional tools with more advanced databases. Now I use enterprise ransomware protection (https://spin.ai/) software for my enterprise.
