Angry DANGER DANGER Vista Home Premium in EU BULLGUARD AV Fails


Vista attacked by 13-year-old virus

A batch of laptops pre-installed with Windows Vista Home Premium was found to have been infected with a 13-year-old boot sector virus. --- snip---
But it was a year that also saw the arrival of a boot sector computer virus known as Stoned.Angelina which moved the original master boot record to cylinder 0, head 0, sector 9.It would appear that this teenage virus has not yet been consigned to the history books.

According to Virus Bulletin, the consignment of infected Medion laptops - which could number anything up to 100,000 shipments - had been sold in Danish and German branches of retail giant Aldi.The computers had been loaded with Microsoft's latest operating system Vista and
Bullguard's anti-virus software, which failed to detect and remove the malware.

Although the infection itself is harmless, Stoned.Angelina will undoubtedly have left Microsoft and Bullguard execs blushing with embarrassment about the apparent flaws in their software which allowed an ancient virus to slip through the back door.

Bullguard's anti-virus software, which failed to detect and remove the malware.
This is CRAP and Bullguard should have to PAY.
Now the Question is "Where did ALDI buy their copies of Vista? " They also should have to PAY. So all ppl that purchased from ALDI and associates
use other program to clean you system of
Pirates love to add crap like that...

i expect that from Aldi becuase there sausage rolls taste like crap and they charge more for shopping bags than a tin of beans.

but even for a cheap and nasty shop that is quite bad, i usally take a look in aldi at the computer systems but after reading this theres no point in me going there again.
