According to a Computerworld report, the Markvision Magnetic Webcam comes with a CD containing a Web link that infects PCs with fake antivirus software.

“The $10 webcam that Anna Giesman bought her daughter at Office Depot over the Thanksgiving weekend sounds like one of those deals that’s too good to be true,” writes Computerworld’s Robert McMillan. “And for her, it was.”

“When she put the CD that came with the Markvision Magnetic Webcam into her PC, a menu popped up offering her drivers as well as a link to Markvision’s site,” McMillan writes. “Wanting to learn more about the product, she clicked on the Web link, but immediately knew something was wrong.”
