As Yogi Berra once said "This is like deja vú all over again." Last Christmas several retailers sold digital photo frames unaware that they contained a nasty little surprise in the form of a Trojan horse. This year's variation on that theme comes from Samsung. Amazon.com began sending notices to customers that purchased certain models of Samsung photo frames warning them that the installation CD may contain a downloader Trojan that, once installed, downloads additional malware. The Trojan is labeled as W32.Sality.AE, W32/Sality or Troj_Agent.xoo by various security firms and only affects Windows XP machines. Amazon is advising its customers to download a new version of the Frame Manager software from Samsung's web site.
