Cracker Software Found on Asus Recovery Disks

The recovery DVDs that come with Asus laptops contain software crackers and confidential documents from Asus and Microsoft, reports PC Pro.

The magazine verified claims by one of its readers whose antivirus software was triggered by a key cracker for the WinRAR compression software on the disk found in a file labeled “Freddy Cruger.”

The documents include an Asus PowerPoint presentation of problems the company has identified, including incompatibility issues.

The magazine also points to comments by a U.S. reader on an Asus forum who found someone’s resume on the disk. No doubt that person will need that resume now.
