Some TomTom satellite navigation systems installed in cars might actually be steering drivers in the wrong direction — at least when it comes to navigating their PCs. That is because a “small number” of TomTom Go 910 satellite navigation devices were shipped last year with two Windows viruses preinstalled, the company has disclosed. The infected systems were all manufactured during a one-week period around October 2006, TomTom says in a statement posted on its Web site. The affected systems are running version number 6.51 of the TomTom software.
