BeachMystress -> virus from iPods, digital photo frame and other unsuspected areas! (3/15/2008 1:35:05 AM)

Wow, some of today's manufactures want to save us the trouble of getting our own viruses. In the past few years, there have been instances of iPods and digital photo frames loading virus onto the purchasers PC. If you got an Insignia 10.4-inch Digital Picture frame from Best Buy this past Christmas it installs a Trojan that disables your security and anti virus software, bypasses the windows firewall to access the Internet and steels your passwords! Lovely huh? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080314/ap_on_hi_te/factory_installed_viruses is one of the recent news articles for those of you who'd not heard of this before. (I'd not before tonight!) If you want to learn more about this scary trend of getting viruses from peripherals, google: "virus McDonalds" , "virus iPod" , "virus creative labs" , "virus TomTom" , "virus Seagate"
Well, at least now when you get a virus, you can tell your significant other that you weren't surfing porn.. the photo frame did it!
