Pc is a toshiba satellite laptop running win 8.1 with latest tm internet security. I have a das keyboard i bought about 6 months ago from a website that was selling the particular model i was after for $50 cheaper than the next lowest store.

TL100 Firmware update may fail on Windows. Updated Toshiba branding requirements; Known Issues. Cannot revert overprovisioning of dynamic disk. If the SSD is formatted as a dynamic disk, the overprovisioning can be increased, but not decreased in SSD Utility. Depending on the contents of the USB stick, the 'Create Bootable SSD Utility.

I thought it was a bargain, so i ordered it. I started noticing that after switching off my toshiba laptop for a while (over night, for instance) that the laptop would not switch on completely. The led around the power button lights up, but the display remains blank. I would then switch it off, then switch it back on again, and it boots up fine. This would occur anytime after being switched off for a few hours. I reflashed the bios, and it stopped going into this quasi-on state and boots up fine, however, i've done this before and eventually it starts happening again, requiring another flash of the bios. I've isolated the cause of the strange bios overwrite to my das keyboard.

The whole time i had trend micro internet security installed, and this had no effect on the malware installation. I don't want to throw away the das keyboard because it's a good quality keyboard, however, how do i protect myself against this usb device? Hello and welcome to the Community! Thank you for letting us know of this problem that you have encountered. Apologies for whatever inconvenience this has caused you. For your concern about a possible malware infection on your machine, I'm afraid that Trend Micro Security is not designed to protect you against firmware and hardware changes as Trend Micro Security works on operating system level only. Although are not ruling out possible malware infection, it is unlikely in this case.

Since we are talking about firmware levels here, the best candidate to help you with this is the manufacturer. I hope this answers your question. Should you have any other concern, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Enjoy the rest of the week! Hi there, i've looked at the das keyboard support forum and although the keyboards are firmware upgradable, they haven't yet released any firmware updates for any of their keyboards. I'm fairly certain that it's the keyboard that's causing it and i'd like to intercept the communications of the das keyboard.

Does trend micro offer any protection against usb devices? Or does trend micro just simply protect against autorun on drives and nothing else? Is there some sort of equivalent of a packet sniffer for usb ports? Short of a tin foil hat, i don't know what else to try. Hi, Thank you for providing us these information and for the screenshot that you have provided as well.

It will be better if you can get in touch with the manufacturer of the keyboard that you have recently purchased since Trend Micro Security does not offer protection on firmware and hardware level. From the screenshot that you have provided below, that I believe is from the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). Caterpillar electronic technician cracked games. While you are still in that level (BIOS), your operating system is not yet loaded as well as the Trend Micro program as it is basically attached to the operating system of your machine. The Trend Micro program on your computer can only protect you against harmful threats at the operating system level. I hope this clears out your concern. Thanks for your stock-standard response, repeating basically everything in the previous comment.

The screenshot is not the bios, it's toshiba's recovery software after booting from the first installation disc. It's not windows recovery software so i understand trend micro can't protect me against it at this stage of installing windows. However, i believe the malware bios would need to infect windows in order to transmit any keypresses to a target server, of which trend micro should (but doesn't) protect me.

Hi tom, i am always using the latest version of trend micro internet security, and folder protection was on - however i doubt folder protection has anything to do with it. I suspect the infection occurs with toshiba service station (a driver update utility) of which contains a severe security flaw, and requires an update on first run to the latest version of toshiba service station. Usually when i run the recovery software on first boot, toshiba service station detects required driver updates, however i think windows update is upgrading these drivers and is why it doesn't detect any required updates - maybe. What's funny about the abnormal bios is that it has display corrections that don't occur with the intended bios - with the intended bios, sometimes web pages that are updated don't display the updated parts correctly and i have to switch tabs or drag the window off screen and back on screen again to show the updated parts of the web page. No matter where the infection occurs, trend micro apparently can't help me.
