McAfee with Intel are currently developing DeepSAFE technology.
Symantec is also mangling something with firmware protection against malware.
Why not Comodo try and develop a module for CIS, that will be able to scan firmware (BIOS, firmware of HDD, PCIe cards, Flash drivers .etc) for malware presence or insecure firmware settings and repair it – in case malware, it will quarantine it and restore clean version or flash it; in case of insecure settings it will tell what to change or make autochanges – showing thorough results at the end?
