Asustek Computer's Japanese arm has alerted owners of its new Eee Box low-cost desktop PC that the machine shipped with a virus. 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.

Ha! Ha!! :D :D :D



They should have stuck with the superior OS they used for the first batch of EEE. Then if a virus file was copied into the system, they could have just asked users to delete a single file. :p :p :p

It is created by the VBClick-A trojan. This trojan also overwrites Rundll32.exe. It also tries to disable system file checker so that the overwrite of Rundll32.exe cannot be detected.
