Eee Box Shipped With Malware
Asus recently began shipping out their new low-cost Eee Box PC in Japan. Unfortunately, customers will be getting more than they bargained for. It seems that the secondary D: drive partition holds the "Recycled.exe" virus. This worm is able to infect all external storage devices attached to the PC.
Asus has made an official apology and offered to replace the infected PCs with clean ones free of charge. The infection can possibly be found on the following models:
| Model number | UPC code |
| EEEBOXB202-B | 610839761807 |
| EEEBOXB202-W | 610839761814 |
| EBXB202BLK/VW161D | 610839530526 |
| EBXB202WHT/VW161D-W | 610839531202 |
| EBXB202BLK/VK191T | 610839547753 |
In another report, it seems that Asus is blaming the China-based OEM that put together the PCs. They have even gone so far as to threaten to move their orders to Foxconn, Pegatron, or other OEM providers. At this time, the current OEM manufacturer is unknown.
