Deep Rai says……….
i think that I wonder how long it will take before the software industry in general is forced to take responsibility for product quality.Originally I had thought it was an issue with a specific refurbished phone as well.

@Damian Yes, if its FAT or FAT32, plugin your USB drive to a linux or mac computer and try removing the autorun.inf file from there.

Hi Pedro,

I hope you see this and can email me.

Can I remove the Panda USB vaccination from my USB drive without formatting or is that the only way?

Thank you for your help,

Regards – Damian

You may want to check a comment I just got in my website. The virus also has surfaced in the Sony Ericsson from Vodafone too.

What I find disturbing about the report is actually vodafone’s response. Particularly the point that they deleted user threads relating to the issue from their forums. That in itself seems to me to be a significant indication of their approach to security and a reason not to be a vodafone subscriber. In other industries the issue of vendor liability has led to the attempts to destroy “evidence” being regarded by courts as a serious evidence of culpability.

I wonder how long it will take before the software industry in general is forced to take responsibility for product quality. It also bothers me more than a little that these security issues are placing large amounts of the private sector at risk in the area of data privacy, but the software industry is still managing to escape liability. I do think the tide is turning against them however (for example in the credit-card and financial sector). It is good so !

An isolated incident ? the last week we see the same activity, the same signature and the same control servers on a hotel wifi spot at Andorra with the shark sniffer. We found 4 HTC magic from tourists, and their laptops also. One of the HTC from a Diplomatic man on Holidays purchased at spain 2 month ago at the same phone company.

Best regards.
