Asus Reports Virus Loaded Into Eee Box PCs
Oct 7, 2008, 23 :47 UTC (9 Talkback[s]) (3801 reads)

(Other stories by Martyn Williams)

"The D drive of the Eee Box B202, which launched in Japan last week, contains a virus file named "recycled.exe," Asustek said in a statement. When the drive is opened, the virus begins copying itself to the main C drive on the machine and to any other removable drives or USB memory connected to the computer."
As usual, the affected operating system(s) is not named, though we know there is only one that uses drive letters and .exes--ed.
