  Creative MP3 Players Shipped with Windows Virus
Time: 21:12 EST/02:12 GMT | News Source: eWeek | Posted By: Andre Da Costa

Multimedia company Creative acknowledged that 3,700 of the company's Zen Neeon MP3 players that shipped from a company factory in late July contain a Windows worm. The 5GB Neeon digital audio players contain a copy of W32.Wullik.B, according to a statement posted on Creative Technology Ltd.'s Japanese language Web site. The worm file doesn't pose a serious threat of spreading, but could potentially infect Windows systems that are connected to the Neeon, according to anti-virus company F-Secure Corp. Wullik is a mass-mailing worm that first appeared in November, 2003, and makes copies of itself in random locations on machines it infects.
