[...] 3) This brings me to a fresh surprise: I can no longer get into my bios. I disable UEFI, and am using grub to boot, which has worked well. Then I started getting a window, right after boot, asking if I want to continue a normal boot, go into bios setting, a recovery startup and something else. (There were 4 choices; I will try to take a photo with my next boot.) When I tried to get into the bios, I was asked for a password; but I don't use a password to protect the bios. I used to create an admin password, but it is a bother, when nobody else ever touches this machine, and no ordinary person would be able to get into it, anyway, if they ever got their hands on it.
If I didn't create a bios password, then who did? And is it possible for me to get back into my bios? I don't make changes often, but it would be nice to own my own machine. I keep thinking that maybe this has something to do with disabling UEFI and using grub; except that for a while, nothing changed.
If it wasn't you ... I would really start thinking ... SVPs do not happen by chance and as said the remote access feature is on by default till you turn it off in the BIOS. Please post your laptops type - might be somebody on the list knows a way to clear the SVP and flash a clean BIOS. Anyway, if this happened to me I'd get a different laptop, no matter how old that might be.
