Your digital gizmo could be a Trojan horse or ID thief
There are reports out now that plug and play digital equipment - like game players, mp3 players, even digital picture frames - could be infested with viruses that could result in identity theft and other problems.
Apparently some PC users have gotten virus warnings when they plug these devices into their computers to transfer data. And that's if you're fortunate enough to have up-to-date and effective virus detection on your computer.
The culprit could be carelessness on the part of the factory, but it could also be intentional.
