The Register is reporting<\/a> that some versions of Samsung’s SPF-85H 8″ digital photo frame shipped with a CD-ROM contaminated with the W32.Sality.AE virus.<\/p>\n

The CD contains drivers needed to use the frame as a USB monitor on systems running Windows XP.<\/p>\n

Amazon.com has posted an advisory<\/a> for it’s customers:<\/p>\n

Greetings from Amazon.com.<\/p>\n

We have recently learned that Samsung has issued an alert affecting its SPF-85H 8-Inch Digital Photo Frame. Our records indicate that you have purchased one of the digital photo frames through the Amazon.com website and are therefore affected by this alert.<\/p>\n

The alert involves the SPF-85H 8-Inch Digital Photo Frames w\/1GB Internal Memory, designed to work with Windows-based PCs via a USB connector. They were sold between October and December 2008 for about $150.<\/p>\n

The alert concerns discovery of the W32.Sality.AE worm on the installation disc SAMSUNG FRAME MANAGER XP VERSION 1.08, which is needed for using the SPF-85H as a USB monitor. If you are using Vista or a different version of Frame Manager, this issue does not affect you. Read the rest…<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This isn’t the first time<\/a> something like this has happened and it won’t be the last. Fortunately, the W32.Sality.AE is a fairly old virus that should be detected by any up to date anti-virus program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
