Re: new hard drives with trojan on board!!
Try this link: http://www.itpro.co.uk/news/137472/t...-websites.html

Thing is, most people will use these drives to host an OS, which will normally mean a format at the time of install.

Also, most uses will be partitioning a harrd drive of this size down into smaller chunks, normally by deleting the one "whole drive" patition, and then creating multiple smaller ones. These partitions would then also need formatting.

Both of the above procceses would erase the trojan.
