Samsung's November alert prompts online retailer to warn Windows XP users of malware on driver CD

Amazon.com Inc. last week warned customers running Windows XP that a Samsung digital photo frame it sold until earlier this month might have come with malware on the driver installation CD.

An Amazon.com customer posted the warning a week ago to the online retailer's user forum. In its note to customers, Amazon.com said that a Samsung advisory had been issued for the SPF-85H, an 8-in. digital photo frame that Amazon sold for approximately $150 starting in October.

The Samsung SPF-85H is no longer available on Amazon.com.

"We have recently learned that Samsung has issued an alert. ... Our records indicate that you have purchased one of the digital photo frames through the Amazon.com website and are therefore affected by this alert," said Amazon in the note.

Samsung released its advisory (download PDF) on Nov. 27 and listed five photo frame models as being affected: SPF-75H, SPF-76H, SPF-85H, SPF-85P and SPF-105P.
