The problem is not rootkit embedded in the BIOS, the problem is rootkits embedded in the boot sector.

Actually, I suspect that the problem isn't rootkits, it's Windows 7 Loader, the one way to pirate windows they haven't been able to squash since it runs from the boot sector.

On the other hand, the TDSS rootkit modifies the boot sector to hook the loader to allow the rootkit which is an unsigned driver) to load.
