Via The Blogger News Network.[snip]McDonalds in Japan seem to have got themselves in a bit of a McPickle.As an advertising and obviously revenue generating program, theydecided to give away 10,000 mp3 players. Better still, these playerswere loaded with 10 songs.Unfortunately the Q&A process was not what it could have been, all ofthe MP3 players came with an unwelcome guest.As soon as you connected your free McPlayer to your computer a nastylittle piece of computer code scans your hard drive for passwords,credit card numbers, etc.With lots of McEgg on their face McDonalds have had to set up anemergency response phone number to help the winners remove the McVirus.[snip]More:http://www.bloggernews.net/1648Props, paperghost.http://www.vitalsecurity.org/2006/10/mcdonalds-serves-up-free-malware.html- ferg--"Fergie", a.k.a.

Like all things in life, pumping is just a primitive, degenerate form of bending.
Hey, I don't tell you how to tell me what to do, so don't tell me how to do what you tell me to do! ... Bender knows when to use finesse.

Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I want a free mp3 player. I'd love to see it read my ext3 file system and collect my passwords.
It's pretty obvious. The scamburglar.
It doesn't auto-run, it brings up a prompt asking the user to do one of a few things such as open a file explorer or run a program on the device that it wants to run (usually a device controller/setup), or do nothing. I believe KDE has a very similar feature...AFAIK the only thing it auto-runs is the plug and play driver
I could be wrong, but I don't think autorun.ini applies to USB devices.
