Good morning Andre

The short answer would be simply Yes!

The longer answer.  There are a few different infections that can
indeed affect the Bios in different ways.  If you go to any of
the anti virus research sites and input  Bios you will come up
with a few entries including the older  CIH, Mypics, AntiCMOS and
even the recent Magistr worm

I do hope that helps
