本周早些时候那些购买了三星某几款型号的电子相框的购买者收到警告：一种出现了六个月之久的病毒在该几款设备中被发现。

      据三星公司本月初发布的安全警告，这种被称为W32.Salty.AE的病毒会危害那些已经预装了Windows XP版的“三星电子相框管理器1.08版本”的电子相框。有些从亚马逊上购买到三星SPF-85H 8英寸电子相框的用户已经收到了亚马逊发出的病毒警告。

     病毒警告中声明：“这个安全警告是针对SPF-85H 8英寸、内置1G内存并通过USB来连接Windows机器的电子相框。这款相框是在十月至十二月之间售出，售价约为150美元。如果您正在使用Vista或者其他版本的三星电子相框管理器软件，那么这个问题将不会影响到您。”

      早在一年前，当一些型号的设备被发现携带有木马病毒之后，就有安全专家提出电子相框是一种安全威胁的途径。上个圣诞节，就有一些消费者报告他们收到的作为圣诞礼物的电子相框试图在他们的电脑上运行恶意代码。一月份的时候，消费电子品商家“百思买”就因发现其标致品牌中的10.4英寸的电子相框携带有病毒，而将其撤出货架。

      三星公司建议用防病毒软件来隔离W32.Salty病毒，并安装1.082版本的电子相框管理器软件。

Digital picture frame viruses back for Christmas
Published: 2008-12-24

Purchasers of some models of Samsung digital picture frames received warnings earlier this week, following the discovery that a six-month-old computer virus had hitched a ride on the devices.

The file infecting virus, known as W32.Salty.AE, compromised version 1.08 of the Samsung Frame Manager software for Windows XP that comes preinstalled on some of Samsung's frames, according to an alert published earlier this month by the company. Some purchasers of the Samsung SPF-85H 8-Inch Digital Photo Frame from Amazon.com received a warning from the online retailer about the virus.

"The alert involves the SPF-85H 8-Inch Digital Photo Frames w/1GB Internal Memory, designed to work with Windows-based PCs via a USB connector," the warning states. "They were sold between October and December 2008 for about $150. ... If you are using Vista or a different version of Frame Manager, this issue does not affect you."

Security experts first flagged digital picture frames as a danger a year ago, when several models of the devices were found to be carrying Trojan horses. Last holiday season, a number of consumers reported that photo frames -- small flat-panel displays for displaying digital p_w_picpaths -- received over the holidays attempted to install malicious code on their computer systems. In January, consumer technology store Best Buy pulled its Insignia-branded 10.4-inch digital picture frame from store shelves, acknowledging that it found some devices infected with an older computer virus.

Samsung recommends using antivirus software to quarantine W32.Salty, and then installing version 1.082 of its Frame Manager software.
