"Be wary when you buy anything from thumb drive to music player. They may come pre-installed with viruses designed to steal information such as passwords and trade documents, which could lead to the thief prying confidential data or, worse, clearing out your bank account.
Such surreptitious programs, called mal ware, are not new. Nevertheless, they are now appearing in everyday gadgets, said experts."
Hmmm... As the technology is advancing at a high speed. It makes sense for everybody who lives in this digital age to be aware of personal security over the Internet. In fact, almost everybody does fund transfer over the internet instead of using the ATM. Which appears to be an old school method. With the convenience at hand, we need to be sensitive and stay to keep updated with current news for a virus.
An anti virus software is a must to ensure you are safe from possible virus attack by those programmers who likes to play prank. Do not be surprise to get alert by the anti-viruse software after you did a scan on your newly purchased external hard or thumb drive. Recurrently, there isn't any law that points responsibility to the manufacturer for any virus/mal ware found on their devise.
Therefore, if you don't want to see your private picture or document circulating the net. Scan your devise before you use, just like you would scan your computer.
