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

* Various internal Asus documents and source code for Asus software

The reader sent the disc to PC Pro, and we can confirm the existence of such files.

I thought so at first too, until I say that Innoc posted it.

And I also have an Asus board, the A8n32-sli deluxe to be precise.

I prefer ASUS in my builds as well but I thought this story was pretty funny. Even in a company as large as ASUS and with the "assumed" QC they have in place stuff like this still gets out.

I liked ASUS, too, until one of my USB's ports got messed up and killed both of my headsets.

Good thing they were cheap headsets.

Soo... Ihmhi's in the market for a new motherboard?
