Not the first time

This isn't the first time that this has happened. A few years ago an MP3 player (From Creative, I think) was found to have a virus on it.

they'd taken some units off of the production line to do QC on them and they'd checked them out by plugging them into a PC with a virus on it which secreted itself on the MP3 player when it was connected.

Probably Made In China....QC Non-Existent

Their QC is if it turns on then it's quality...Ship it.

Until contractors start demanding a higher level of quality control this situation is going to remain the norm instead of the exception.
