Acer == infected by design

Lets not all forget acer were the company who shipped a dll/ocx control that allowed *anyone*

to embed the control in thier web page and run *any* command as admin on your machine

without detection by any of the then current av scanners.

No comment from the AV companies we are supposed to trust....

At the time I had to boot with a linux live disk, scan my machine and remove this DLL and

hunt for any other infections that may have been loaded by this Acer crapware.

Acers response at the time was (to paraphrase) "tough doodoo".

I love my travelmate but I would never ever trust Acer to ship a windows box without a

manufactered backdoor that is undetected/unreported by a commercial AV package.
