Asus reports virus loaded into Eee Box PCs
,----[ Quote ]
| 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.

12 Most Devastating PC Viruses and Worms of All Time
,----[ Quote ]
| 12. Nimda
| Nimda is a computer worm, isolated in September 2001. It is also a file
| infector. It quickly spread, eclipsing the economic damage caused by past
| outbreaks such as Code Red. Multiple propagation vectors allowed Nimda to
| become the Internet’s most widespread virus/worm within 22 minutes. Due to
| the release date, some media quickly began speculating a link between the
| virus and Al Qaeda, though this relationship ended up being untrue. Nimda
| affected both user workstations (clients) running Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, or
| 2000 and servers running Windows NT and 2000. The worm's name spelled
| backwards is "admin".
