HP is warning customers that some of its ProCurve switches were shipped recently with compact flash cards infected with malware. The company said that PCs could be infected by the malware under some conditions. HP did not provide details on which piece of malware was included on the switches or what the program is capable of doing. They suggest that customers either use a software script that will remove the malware from the flash card or opt for a hardware replacement through which HP will ship out a new module to replace the infected one.
