HP Printer Drivers Hit Again With Funlove Virus

Hewlett-Packard (HP) on Thursday pulled a printer driver from its website after security vendor BitDefender reported that the software was infected with the same computer virus that infected HP’s drivers more than five years ago.

A BitDefender partner notified the security vendor of the infected driver software on Wednesday, and the company’s security researchers soon determined that it had the same Funlove virus that had plagued HP in December 2000.

The infected printer driver was removed from HP’s website early Thursday, said BitDefender spokesman Vitor Souza.
