Creative Labs has instituted a product recall after discovering that it shipped thousands of Zen digital audio players loaded with a Windows virus. The problem affects 5GB Zen Neeons sold in Japan.
Creative reports that the virus affects players with serial numbers between 1230528000001 and 1230533001680.
According to a report at F-Secure.com, the filesystem on the players contains a file that is infected with the Wullik.B aka Rays email worm. The worm won't infect PCs unless user browses the player files and clicks on the infected file.
The worm in case is over two years old and spreads by emailing copies of itself and dropping itself to shared folders.
