Could someone show some light on this - can a Reliance Netconnect+ USB modem (Huawei EC 159, to be precise) be infected by a boot-virus?
I used my new modem on a PC infected with a boot virus. It's a pretty bad virus, spreading easily to USB devices. Does it mean the modem is also infected?
The CDROM part shows as total 42.4MB, with software of 28.8MB. No free space. I understand it's a CDROM. But the software can be updated, right (like unlocking, etc)? Does it mean there are backdoors - and could a powerful boot virus get in?
I talked to helpline, and mailed support (Reliance/Huawei) - they neither have a clue nor any interest in the issue.
