If you've purchased or received a Samsung Digital Picture frame from Amazon, take a look at this posting by Amazon:

This is not the first time this has happened:

It won't be the last. I've already heard of these types of things happening with hard drives, which is why I do a wipe of all new hard drives before I deploy.
How To Protect Yourself:
- Always run an anti-virus program on your computer.
- Always keep that anti-virus program updated.
- When purchasing or obtaining anything that may hold data (i.e. digital picture frame, hard drives, USB flash drives, etc.), make sure to, at least, do a virus scan on the device. The better thing to do is to wipe and/or format the device before your first use.
Good luck and happy computing.
