Dell Motherboards Contain Malware?

It would seem that some Dell PowerEdge owners might have an extra surprise bundled with their replacement motherboards…malware. The company is on top of the issue but you might want to contact them just in case.

I just got a telephone call from a service scheduler informing me that the replacement R410 motherboard I received several weeks ago contains spyware in its embedded systems management firmware, and wanting to schedule an additional service call for a tech to come clean it off.
