Re-imaging your hard drive will not help with BIOS malware. Re-installing the BIOS yourself may help.

Your data should stay at home and a VPN connection to your home PC would be a good first step.

Is there a reliable backup utility for your BIOS? I've come across this, but don't know how to judge it's viability.
