I've just discovered a built-in rootkit in my wife's brand new Toshiba laptop. A non-removable malicious software application right from the manufacturer. That even captured and sent-out screenshots of my wife's work... But first things first.

Scratch Toshiba from the list of vendors I'll ever buy from... list's getting awfully short these days.
