What about companies like MicroSoft, I heard that they had
a virus on one of there cd which they were selling to people
is this true?  And also someone told me that you always scan
you installation discs eg ( CD's, 1.44 ), because you get
disgruntle employees tampering with the discs and putting
viruses on them.
