Manual here:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/su.../c01129827.pdf

on page 30:

Fn+Esc BIOS.
Press the hotkey, then the down arrow key to view BIOS dates for the
system, video, keyboard, and expansion
(when docked in a base). (The upgradable system BIOS provides basic
functional instructions to the computer.)

Glad to hear it .
Make sure to scan it with virus app prior to going online again. In case
something buried in registry.
I like spybots,ad-aware, and CCleaner after rebuilding.
Then Avast for free protection ( download.com for all of them)
Good luck with it.

I suggest using the free malwarbytes, and the free version of a-squared,
in addition to the above...

A-squared will find and remove root kits your anti-virus does not know
