Yes, Lexmark is now in the Spyware business!<\/p>\n

Just the other day I purchased a new Lexmark X5250 All-in-one printer. I installed it as per the instructions and monitored the install with Norton as I do with all new software.<\/p>\n

On reviewing the install log I noticed a program called Lx_CATS had been placed in the c:\\program files directory. I investigated and found a data log and an initialisation file called Lx_CATS.ini. Further investigation of this file showed that Lexmark had, without my permission, loaded a Trojan backdoor on to my computer. Furthermore,
\nit is embedded into the system registry, so average users would likely never know it was there and active.<\/p>\n

This Lexmark Trojan was programmed to monitor my use of the printer by way of data collected from two DLLs in the c:\\program files\\lexmark500 folder. The Trojan would then send information on printer usage, including types of print activity, scanning activity, OCR activity etc., back to a hidden URL at 30 day intervals.
