BIOS virus ?

How common it it ? I have old sony vaio laptop with windows 7. I am planning to install ubuntu in it to handle extreamly sensitive financial work.

If I completely unistall windows and install latest ubuntu from scratch is there still possibility that BIOS virus can cause system vulnerabilities ? I don't want to take any chance.

Should I do something or am I worrying too much ?
