Asus EEE Box - Inbuild virus anti-protection

It turns out that asus may be dishing out various EEE Box PC’s models well before its intended release, alpha testing anyone? Asus confirmed today that the EEE Box PC shipped to japan may contain a software virus! ok then!

According to sources Asus has warned that the partition of the EEE Box hard disk contains a hidden file named recyclyed.exe. When the drive is addressed the virus activates itself and then delivers the payload infecting any other added storage.

The problem does not exist within other regions as yet but make sure these version are not bought on on-line auction websites, you may end up with a cheap but contaminated system!

I am however unable to tell the public what the virus actually does and how powerful this threat actually is but then again, a threat is a threat in my opnion.
