Re-read the article and look at your interpretation again. The virus was installed on the hard drives in China, but the SERVERS where the passwords go appear to be from Texas and Korea.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Just a heads up

I posted a mild criticism of this web site suggesting the need for them to preview and screen software a bit better before posting it to prevent foisting problems upon us. 

My comment was removed.  A lot of other comments from the far reaches of the galaxy are preserved.  Go figure]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Wow this software started a movie pitch... The idea that the software is really malware that sends secret data is insane, not out of possibility, but unlikely.  I have a few of the other encryption software packages on my machine and there is little use for them unless you don't password protect and have an open machine.  I am the only user and I have a guest account, why, so that if I decide to "loan" the use of my machine to a friend they cannot see all my personal files. 
The programs are free and you often get what you pay for... remember that folks and if you don't like what is out there today...wait for tomorrow!!!!!!! There is always another day.  Thanks for the laughs and I will pass on this one.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[AS DOCUMENTED in that very article that the person prior to Dawn posted, and reported by INFOWORD:

"Trend Micro researcher Paul Ferguson said that while the password-collecting servers may appear to be located in China, they are actually located in Dallas and Korea. "

Ok. So the virus on the Seagate drives was not from China afterall. It was from DALLAS TEXAS USA and Korea. 

So, I guess that means that all of you are not going to buy or use anything made in the USA again from now on. Right?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Yes, let's not become anti-China over such non sense. Note that the article cited said <i> Trend Micro researcher Paul Ferguson said that while the password-collecting servers may appear to be located in China, they are actually located in Dallas and Korea. </i>
So, I suppose we should become fearful of Texans rather than China. 
Cut the non sense out. I will run good software where ever it comes from. No, we don't need another kooky conspiracy theory to try &amp; scare us away!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I was quite shocked to read about the Seagate drives being infected with such a virus as I do play online games, though not WoW, which was mentioned as one of the passwords being stolen.  Seagate, are offering a 60 day free trial of Kaspersky,s  AV software, which apparently can detect and delete the virus.  Apparently Seagate drives shipped since Aug 07 may be infected.  There was an instance of Maxtor drives with a similar problem last year.  I've bought at least three seagate drives since then so will be checking them as my usual AV software hasn't detected anything:

You can get the 60 day trial from the following link:

http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/personal_storage/ps3200-sw

As for today’s software I’ll pass as the freeware alternatives mentioned by Louie comment #2  do come highly recommended. (Thanks for the heads up) though usually I don’t particularily like freeware applications.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[WOW !! Data Security Wizard
Thanks all, for the warning.

The best chuckles i`v had all day.
I see conspiracy theory is alive and well.
I have some encryption programs but do not use them.I considered trying this one just for testing, but with the abundance of problems others have with Data Security Wizard, i will pass on todays Giveaway. I certainly don`t want to spend three hours reinstalling a system backup.
Thanks anyway GOTD team.

<description><![CDATA[@Dawn #34:

Thank you (and Weeuns) for your response. Despite my attempt at humor, I was seriously wondering what you were referring to. I couldn't understand how a trojan could survive a format. However, after scanning several articles about it, it appears the hard drives in question might have been external, pre-formatted drives, in which case malware could have already been there.

Still, I would like to point out that no one here has confirmed any malware in this present software. The fact that somebody says it "smells of malware" to him because it doesn't offer choices he expects, or even "turned out to be malware" because he isn't able to uninstall it, or someone else doesn't believe it's possible for the software to do some of the things it claims to do only proves that some people ought to have to be licensed to use computers like automobile drivers are.

I didn't download the software either, but only because I already have too much encryption software and don't want any more. If you had said you didn't download it for some similar reason, I wouldn't have involved myself in this discussion. However, you have to admit that you implied that this program might have malware partly because "Chinese people may have written another spyware program to collect data".

I'm not Chinese, but it offends me when someone accuses other people of possible wrongdoing because someone else of their country (race, gender or whatever) is known to have done wrong; -- especially, apparently by mistake as the articles I read suggested.

Anyway, thank you again for clarifying your position.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Firstly, I never stated that I *believed* the Chinese government developed this program to hack our computers and steal our information, nor did I suggest that we should avoid all software from a particular country because of the seagate/maxtor thing. However, because some people think the idea is completely ridiculous, I thought I would point out the seagate/maxtor trojan. We know it because it was all over the news. Here is just one link. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=58819

Poor translations shouldn't stop us from using a particular software, but because a couple of people who tried this program and had indication of spyware, along with the FACT that a Chinese company put spyware on Maxtor/Seagate drives, it is enough for me to not try this program.]]></description>
