This was not covered here yet:

"Asus is accidentally shipping software crackers and confidential documents on the recovery DVDs that come with its 
laptops.

The startling discovery was made by a PC Pro reader whose antivirus software was triggered by a key cracker for the 
WinRAR compression software,
which was located on the recovery DVD for his Asus laptop.

He discovered a number of other suspicious files, including:

* A directory called "Crack" that appears to contain serial numbers for other software packages

* A directory containing a large number of confidential Microsoft documents for PC manufacturers, including associated 
keys and program files"
