    That's the most pitiful excuse I've ever heard.

    You would know how it got in there, because you're the coder... I'm thinking he got caught and is scared, so tried to make something up... and as you can see, failed.

    It is the best answer when you try to hide your fault

    No, the best excuse is to accept it and take the blame... because you are at fault and by denying it, you only make it worse on yourself.

    Symantec and Energizer are saying they can't figure out just how this file was even included with the download. They are blaming a "dirty" work environment. Whatever that is supposed to mean.

    They are saying it is very similar to what happened when all of the digital photo frames were sold with trojans a few years ago because, it's basically the same trojan.

    HP but I installed the software from the Energizer website. It enables you to see the charging percentage on-screen of the batteries.
