No doubt Seagate has moved quickly to stop further such drives from leaving the Chinese facility, yet some infected drives may already have found their way into the hands of unsuspecting customers.
Be warned, those who've purchased Seagate's Maxtor Basics Personal Storage 3200 products between now and August this year.
Kaspersky Labs has alerted Seagate to the existence of a virus found in at least one of these products. Seagate has investigated, and found that an undisclosed number of drives produced by a Chinese sub-contract manufacturer might have gone out with a virus, "Virus.Win32.AutoRun.ah", on them.
