IBM Distributes USB Malware At Security Conference 73
bennyboy64 and other readers let us know that
IBM sent out an email to all attendees to the Australian Computer Emergency Response Team (AusCERT) 2010 conference, warning them that some of the USB drives handed out to delegates contained malware. Fortunately it was old malware, which all anti-virus products have detected since 2008. Two years ago telecommunications company Telstra distributed malware-infected USB drives at the same conference.

OS/2 was not malware. Malware is unobstrusive, runs usually pretty well with Windows, only occasionally slows down the system and is usually also well maintained.
Stop badmouthing malware, please.
