Although the GPS device itself is not affected by this, the TomTom GO 910 has been reported to be carrying Trojans win32.Perlovga.A and TR/Drop.Small.qp. Any of the $599 units manufactured between September and November last year may have been manufactured with these two Trojans "pre-installed" for you. Apparently TomTom is aware of this, yet so far no warning has been released to consumers - although the viruses pose very little risk and if you keep your anti-virus software up to date you should be fine. TomTom claims "Appropriate actions have been taken to make sure this is prevented from happening again in the future." These Trojans can potentially spread to your PC if you connect it to synchronise information or load routes.
