The file flashspi.exe > in %System%\flashspi.exe, This file has been seen with the following file size:26,351 bytes. looks like gigabyte motherboard has updated "F5" offical bios and they have a special "FLASHSPI.EXE" and Autoexec.bat.

Did you flash the BIOS? was there something wrong with the BIOS? Latest BIOS that includes Flashspi.exe and an autoexec.bat. flashspi.exe in archive is an application for flashing the BIOS ROM on your motherboard.

Alternate Operating System Scanner :
Once a system is infected with malware it becomes difficult to remove that malware as it is already embedded in the system and has control over many components which are key to the system's operations. Malware, like rootkits, use system components to hide themselves and prevent other software from detecting or removing them. This is often the case of who gets there first; if the malware is able to get control of the system earlier on then it also has control over any software that may be run later. Besides just hiding, malware can also block the execution of other security applications. If you cannot install or run a security application in the first place then you cannot scan and detect the malware. The best time to remove this malware is when it is not running, but malware often starts with the Operating System, so we would have to stop the Operating System to stop the malware. On a shutdown OS nothing is running and malware like rootkits cannot hide themselves and so it would be easy to find and remove them.
