TomTom 910's with a Virus?
Several websites are reporting that some TomTom 910's that were shipped at the end of the year last year shipped with Trojan Horse viruses hidden on its hard drive (win32.Perlovga.A Trojan and TR/Drop.Small.qp). "It has been confirmed that a small number of TomTom GO 910 devices, produced between September and November 2006, and shipped with software version 6.51, may be infected with a virus." So, if you happened to get one of these infected GPS units as a present and plugged it into your computer, you might have set off your anti-virus software. Always disappointing when something like this happens, and TomTom is saying that they are taking steps to prevent this in the future.
UPDATE: Around the time the story hit the web in full force, TomTom put out a statement confirming the virus, saying that the issue was limited to a week's worth of TomTom 910 production. They also added that any anti-virus software program would have caught and killed the infection. - this Via Reuters
