I laugh because on December 20th, I bought a frame from CompUSA adn it too came with a virus. It was their Gearhead 10.4 inch model.

Not only did it infect my computer after attaching the USB cable, it also copied itself onto any media cards I had inserted.

The trojan Kaspersky found was "Virus.Win32.VB.bu". The hidden files on the frame were EXPLORER.exe and Autorun.inf.

Does anyone know if that's the same virus found on the Insignia one?
