QEMU depended on seabios by default . sudo pacman -S qemu ,sudo apt install qemu ,,that will auto-install seabios . So seabios is installed in my system , NOT a single file .
https://thehackernews.com/2011/09/bios-based-virus-discovered-by-chinese.html What if I run BMW in QEMU ? Will it destroy seabios then affect other virtual machines ?
https://www.coreboot.org/QEMU Do I have to prepare a single file to avoid the virus ? Since seabios is auto-installed by a distribution's package manager , NOT a single file .

The article says the bug infects Award BIOS only so I don't think there is a
problem with Seabios.
