A lot of people who roll their own machines tend to install drivers before antivirus programs and one common vector is companies like Asus who are offering infected drivers without realizing it.

...I built my PC several years ago and still haven't got around to installing an antivirus.

More reason to never buy a premade PC.

Except there have also been cases of malware being put onto components on the line, not just complete PCs.

I don't believe there's evidence of the stuff ever coming here (though we've had flashdrives come with malware, and heaven help you if you buy one of those digital picture frames), but it's happened in China.


In any case, the computers in question in the article are laptops, which you can't build on your own.
