As first reported by El Reg in September a pre-installed Trojan named AutoRun-AH was discovered by Kaspersky Labs on Maxtor 3200 external hard drives sold in the Netherlands. Maxtor is owned Seagate.

Maxtor Basics Personal Storage 3200
If you have purchased a Maxtor Basics Personal Storage 3200 product since August 2007 the product may be infected with a virus.
Kaspersky Labs, a maker of anti-virus software, has alerted Seagate to the existence of a virus found on at least one Maxtor Basics Personal Storage 3200 product. Seagate has traced this issue to a small number of units produced by a Maxtor sub-contract manufacturer located in China. Seagate quickly put a stop ship to units leaving the facility as soon as the company learned of the probable infection. All units now leaving the facility in question have been cleared of the virus and units in inventory are being reworked before being released for sale. However, some affected units may have been sold to the public before the problem was detected. Seagate apologizes for the inconvenience that has been caused as a result of this incident.
If your Maxtor Basics Personal Storage 3200 unit is infected or to ensure that your unit is clear from this virus, install the latest virus definition list for your anti-virus software. As of October 2, 2007, 28 of the 32 anti-virus software titles have updated their virus definition list to include detect and clean this virus.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Again, once this issue was brought to our attention, we immediately stopped shipment of the product until we could ascertain the issue and provide a fix to our customers.

Hey thanks for all the added research!
There are several files and folders on the HDD, Dave, and I scanned them with a virus scanner, a Trojan scanner and spyware scanner, they all came out clean.
