It’s rather sad that all we can expect is to see malware on brand new computers. But as this report has indicated, it is becoming something of a regular occurrence it would seem. The sad truth of the matter is that malware showing up on new PCs is not as rare as we might have been led to believe.

Where things become truly scary is when malware starts showing up on consumer devices like camera memory cards and digital picture frames. Again, this has been happening slowly but surely in recent months. With some consumers finding themselves falling victim to malware, through no fault of their own, it leaves me wondering where things will end up in the future should this type of thing not be corrected?

At the end of the day, I find it unfortunate that the best advice that the above linked article above has is for consumers to install security software in hopes that it will block whatever ails them. Seriously, this does little to help when such an event happens in consumer made stuff like memory cards. But that is just my own take on the matter.
