Acer Aspire 5742G bios recovery procedure

I need to recover bios because it is infected with virus.

I found procedure description on another site. It says:

1) unpack crysis disk

2) put bios firmware file as bios.wph there.

3) create crisis disk;

4) use fn+esc keys combination at startup to recover bios.

Crisis disk containt exe files. I am asking whether it is necessary to put exe files on recovery usb flash? Because they might be infected too(infection of wph file is more difficult i think, correct me if i'm wrong) and i need to use another virus free laptop in that case to create flash. Another reason why i am asking this quiestion is: Bios recovery procedure for motherboards for example requires only bios firmware file on usb flash.

How do you know the bios is infected? What happens when you tap F2 when the Acer boot logo screen appears?

A BIOS can only be corrupted or damaged not infected.

As for me i have the following type of evidence: As the result of hackers executing code on my another laptop(Lenovo) which have UEFI bios they disabled detection of HDD by bios for exactly 3 reboots. Simultaneously with that happening hacker said through my room window that they want to receive money from me or laptop will stop working.
