The OS is not widely used and therefore, who the hell would make a virus for it? Then again, if I was a programmer, it'd be a tempting way to make smug Mac owners run around as their system explodes.]]>Jan 24th 2008 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/Jan 24th 2008 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/Jan 24th 2008 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/Jan 24th 2008 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/Jan 24th 2008 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/
Wait a minute. They sell you a product that they KNOW is infected with a virus and they recommend that you connect it to your PC? Are they f'ing nuts? Sounds like their setting themselves up for much bigger headaches should ANYTHING go wrong.]]>Jan 24th 2008 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/
"This is poison. Drink it! Your body should be able to handle it."]]>Jan 24th 2008 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/
My jaw dropped when I read that. They actually WANT you to connect a malware infected device to your computer? Puhleeeeeze.

That's the most irresponsible thing I have ever heard.

That is no different then a health safety expert from poison control recommending that you just pick up the rattlesnake and put it down your pants.... freaking idiots.]]>Jan 25th 2008 2:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/
Its just cheap Chinese merchandise which you should note have great expectations for.

Practice safe USB sex, wear an anti-virus program.]]>Jan 24th 2008 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/
For Best Buy to say that this is not a big deal because users should just expect their anti-virus software to take care of it is also a bit ridiculous to me. Are they providing free anti-virus software now? If I don't have anti-virus software running (or its expired or not working or whatever) and the photo frame virus damages my computer/files, is Best Buy liable? I would bet that's a "yes".

Also, doesn't it seem odd that on one hand they say they're certain that the virus won't impact you if you have current anti-virus software (because that s/w will remove the virus) but on the other hand they say they're not yet ready to share a solution with customers who bought the product? Isn't the solution to give every customer a free anti-virus program then? Or at a minimum a free program that is designed to target that specific virus? Yes, giving something away for free will cost them money but it's not the same as saying they don't have a solution yet.]]>Jan 24th 2008 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/
"Run away!"]]>Jan 24th 2008 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/Jan 24th 2008 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/
That's where I order my BBQ vittles during the summer up here. They come pre-packaged with a nice pineapple and raisin sauce. Cook up nice and tender after marinating all the way here to the mainland. Try the "Oahu Irish Setter Filets" with a Guinness on a hot day. Nothing beats it.]]>Jan 24th 2008 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/
If you think your computer is full of viruses, find one of these photo frames, buy, it, bring your computer and the frame to geek squad, tell them you think you got a virus, show them the frame and computer, Free ADR! They'll check your hardware and fix any software issues for free, but you'll have to buy any failing hardware.

May not even have to buy a frame, just say you had one but already returned it or something.]]>Jan 24th 2008 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/best-buy-confirms-it-sold-virus-infected-insignia-photo-frames/
A little research shows a lot of companies (Even large ones like symantec) have sold products that where infected at one point or another.

For me though. I'll stick to either paper photos or looking at them on my pc.
