Portable hard discs sold locally and produced by US disk-drive manufacturer Seagate Technology have been found to carry Trojan horse viruses that automatically upload to Beijing Web sites anything the computer user saves on the hard disc, the Investigation Bureau said.

China is our FRIEND! /s

I don't know if we've ever bought anything from Seagate Technology, but we certainly won't buy anything from them now!

Why? Flatten the partitions and reformat and the little beasties are gone.

You wouldnt want a seagate product anyway. Western Digital makes the best disk drives.

Stay away from Maxtor, too.

Their price is right, but their drives are not very reliable.
