These stories come up from time to time. A free giveaway of some sort and it turns out that there's spyware or a virus embedded, company gives a big "whoops" and fixes things by replacing them.... McDonalds had a promotion going where up to 10,000 people could win a flash based mp3 player they also received a trojan horse preinstalled.... They've apologized and are swapping the infected players and giving information on how to clean up a pc with the keylogger. According to f-secure it was infected with the QQPass password-stealing trojan. Just imagine how things would have turned out if the Greeks had looked that gift horse from the trojans in the mouth first.....
