Not sure of that from the article. The malware was in the driver for
hardware specific to the HP laptop. Not tested yet to see if the mess
is in the driver collection for separate download or just the default
image from HP.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
