ASUS pre-installs Japanese Eee Box PCs with worm, issues recall News Reporter Prestige 10 Join Date: Jan 2008 Posts: 149,789 News Reporter 10-14-2008, 06:00 AM Rating: () Filed under: Desktops Uh oh. ASUS just issued a recall for all Eee Box PCs sold in Japan due to a nasty pre-installed worm. The malicious code dubbed "recycled.exe" may attempt to download additional malware while attempting to replicate itself to attached USB storage devices at the first opportunity. Of course, this isn't the first time that ASUS has been embarrassed by its image burns. Who could forget the the illegal keygen and confidential documentation shipped on those brand new laptops last month? Apparently, only ASUS who has yet to clean house.
