    Oh dear, this won’t go well. What does it say about your company when a product ships with a virus intact on the hard drive? Does it say something about their quality control? Or maybe about the internal security of the company? Whatever it says, it ain’t good.

    If I can’t trust them to run a virus scan on their junk before sending it out, can I really trust the build quality? The fans and heatsinks? The customer support? And can I create a post almost entirely out of questions? I think so?
