More Funlove From HP

From Mary Landesman, About.com GuideJune 2, 2006

Follow me on:

According to CIO Tech Informer, HP has done it again - hosted a printer driver infected with the Funlove virus. Antivirus vendor BitDefender discovered the virus just days ago in the Korean version of Hewlett-Packard's HP OfficeJet G85 All-in-One printer. Five years ago, HP inadvertently distributed the same virus in a Japanese language version of a different printer driver. The Funlove virus was first detected in November 1999 and is a trivial virus for antivirus scanners to detect (and clean).

Not that anyone cares but I bought Bitdefender after I saw some good reviews and it found 4 viruses my Norton missed so this didnt suprise me.

Thank you for the information. I have Norton security installed, but with my C-Drive,it could not remove the Trojan. I have been down this road before.My next computer is a Apple pro. I can not stress this enough,do not by a Dell. I own 3. One desktop, one notebook and a mini. Big problems with all three. live and learn!.
