In a case repeating itself across ASUS discussion forums, some ASUS laptop owners are finding confidential and personal software along with an illegal keygen.exe software hack bundled with their new rigs. According to readers of PC Pro and APC Magazine, a directory on the ASUS-branded Vista recovery DVD contains illegal software serial numbers, confidential Microsoft documents intended for PC manufacturers, and a variety of ASUS documents and source code. A reader in ASUS’ forums

claims to have found other bizarre files including someone’s resume (pictured above). For its part, an ASUS spokesman has responded saying, “We will be investigating this at quite a high level.” Well, then that’s that.
