Great news... but what's with the SL folder? The report does not say what SL folder contains on a new laptop. Anyway, pretty dumb to check for viruses by folder name.

Slovene language support files. SL is their ISO 639-1 code. http://www.samsungtomorrow.com/1071

there's a separate folder in C:\Windows for every supported language? that seems so messy.

This has got to get to 400+ points. For those who took the day off and will continue to believe the sensationalism before it pops off the front page? To be damned! EDIT: I mean, this is the only tech news site I read. I don't know if I'm in the same boat so to speak.

Got your wish, 400+ now!

Wow, what a waste of everyone's time:

> [UPDATE 3/31/11: Mich Kabay writes: A Samsung executive personally flew from Newark, N.J., to Burlington, Vt., carrying two unopened boxes containing new R540 laptop computers. These units were immediately put under seal and details recorded for chain-of-custody records. At 17:40, Dr Peter Stephenson, Director of the Norwich University Center for Advanced Computing and Digital Forensics, began the detailed forensic analysis of the disks. We expect results by Monday.]
