My original news story at DaniWeb has certainly caused something of a media frenzy. Everyone from specialist GPS and gadget websites through to national newspapers have been covering how TomTom let an unspecified number of its GO 910 satnav devices escape from the factory with not one but two nasty surprises in the form of a virus infection.
Actually, it has now come to my attention courtesy of Martin Campbell, who first contacted TomTom on December 16th about the virus infection on his unit, that there are not two but three infected files on the device. The third being autorun.inf which adds entries for copy.exe to the Windows Registry in
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2].
