Asustek Recalls Eee Box Infected with Virus in Japan
Oct 14th
A few days ago we reported that some Eee Box released through the Japanese market were found to contain recycled.exe virus which stays on the D drive of the nettop. Once users run this executable file, the virus will activate and replicate itself into the C drive and other removable or USB drives. Once the virus populate the Eee Box’s system, this will cause the machine to slow down and perform poorly. It may even download malware programs from the web.
Asustek claimed that the virus was accidentally transferred when the company was downloading a Japanese software to the Eee Box. But now, Asustek has issued a statement recalling those Eee Box units and promised to implement stricter quality control mechanism to fully protect their products.
If you’re wondering how many Eee Box units infected with the said virus were shipped to the Japanese market, report says there around 4,500 units already sold.
Fortunately for those Japanese who bought the Eee Box, Asustek has at least done something to get them back. What isn’t clear though is what Asustek plans to do with these units once they’ve recalled them all.
