Default From Brand New Laptop to Infected By Pressing 'On'

You know, it is a damn shame that you don't even get the pleasure of surfing the "risky" sites anymore before getting infected with a virus/malware. A customer in Shenzhen, China, took a brand new laptop out of its box and booted it up for the first time. But as the screen lit up, the computer began taking on a life of its own. The machine, triggered by a virus hidden in its hard drive, began searching across the Internet for another computer.
