Hopefully many of the people who read this blog are wise enough to run anti-virus software on their computers at least once a week. Particularly active net-users tend to pick up a trojan virus or two when they go web surfing, while others may make the mistake of downloading an unknown attachment in a seemingly innocuous email. However smart PC/Mac users should always know to scan new files for viruses, especially if the source of the files is not well-known.
According to an article over at TopTechNews.com, you may want to run your anti-virus software after installing a name-brand product. The article, called "Some Viruses Come Pre-Installed," talks in length about how big-name products such as iPods or GPS devices can occasionally come prepackaged with viruses. It's real scary stuff, but a great read.

Hey Jason. I liked this post, but I would have liked to seen more of your own input. I see that you have a good article to help your point, but maybe some more of your opinion on the topic would have been helpful. It seems like you are very knowledgable about the subject and it would have been a little better to hear more from you.
