I had to go back and listen again to what he was saying about his friend who installed Linux and found the malware as well. That user had installed Linux on a different SSD than what had shipped with the device, and upon scanning the original SSD with Windows on it, they found the malware there. Whew, good to know it is not something in the firmware pushing the malware to whatever OS you run on it.
