Just wait until people realize that computer motherboards that are manufactured in China come fully equipped all kinds of things. Just ask Iran, they are familiar with embedded computer chips.

"We found malware capable of remotely turning on an infected computer's microphone and video camera, potentially giving a cybercriminal eyes and ears into a victim's home or business," said Richard Boscovich, a lawyer in Microsoft's digital crimes unit in a blogpost. The FedGov is already jealous

Free viruses that come pre-installed are just another benefit of free trade.
The Chinese are just Installing the viruses and backdoors into brand-new computers that Americans refuse to install.
So the industry had to outsource the manufacturing of computers to someone who would install this free software.
See how the consumer won there? Free software, installed very inexpensively... that’s a benefit of free trade.

We are total idiots. The Chinese are not our friend.
Consumer mdse. is one thing. Bad
But, our Government, esp. the military buys from them also. Beyond stupid.

Bought new computer last year. Had major problems getting it set up and running.
took back to shop and told virus infested...laughed at them and said it hasn’t been connected to the net yet!
Silence...complete silence. Got a new computer out of the fiasco.

Cybercriminals have opened a new front in their battle to infect computers with malware - PC production lines. Several new computers have been found carrying malware installed in the factory, suggests a Microsoft study.Finally some recognition for the scourge of crapware infesting new computers! Calling the manufacturers criminals might be going slightly too far. Slightly. ;)

Any manufacturer want to offer clean Windows 8 PC’s with zero crapware pre-installed? They might just make a profit...
