When you get your next MP3 player from Creative, not only will you be getting the Zen Patent - Creative’s patented navigation technology, but also possibly a Windows worm!

Creative Technology has just announced that 4,000 of its Zen Neon portable music players are shipped with a Windows worm - Wullik.b worm. The players sent to Japan in an allotment during late July are infected with the Wullik.b worm, a mass-mailed worm code. The Neon’s file system includes an infected file, but the worm won’t infect a connected PC unless the user browses the device’s file list and clicks on the infected file.

In addition Creative has already verified that none of the other creative products are affected by this Windows worm.
