One of the more popular gifts this past holiday season was digital photo frames. These are a great idea in that they’re rather “techy”, they are efficient (multiple pictures in one wall space), and they are constantly able to be updated with new photos. Be careful though, there are many reports of these frames being released onto the market with computer viruses pre-loaded onto them. This has happened somewhere in the manufacturing process. Once the frame, or it’s memory card, is hooked up to your computer then the virus can spread to your entire system. The only way to guard against this is by having your computer protected by up-to-date anti-virus software. It’s a great gift idea… but be careful.
