Hello I have been repeadely attacked by bad actors and they have injected a nasty script as part of the boot. It deploys before everything so it remains ever present and somehow has the ability connect to other pcs over various networks even with the wifi adaptors fully remove and the
network adaptors uninstalled ( y the guy waist such talent on hacking is bizzar) so I need to locate either a bios download for my unsupported
HP Laptop 15-dw0xxx 1A512UW (1A512UW)
Or find a board. In case your wondering y I'm using this laptop. This laptop is very dated wich makes it difficult to hack . Think of it like .... A person n can manipulate all the content of a word Prosser. But let him try to do that on a machanical typewriter. This is !y typewriter. Any suggestions resources or tips??

Microsoft has a safety scanner you can try
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-endpoint/safety-scanner-download
Scan for "Malicious" software. Type MRT in the windows search bar.
The most recent bios is here but you might want to just do an HP factory reset
HP is removing cloud recovery for system over 5 years old. You may want to get a copy of the cloud recovery before it is too late.
Cloud recovery provides all the custom HP drivers.
Go to the below site and enter your product ID including the 3 characters after the # character
If you have cloud recovery you can restore your system using a 32gb flash.
It may take an hour or more to create the recovery USB.

Alternately, download from the MS windows store
