Flaws in software often offer a potential path for attackers to
install malicious software, but you wouldn't necessarily expect
a hardware vendor to include potentially malicious software
built right into its device drivers. But that's exactly what a

driver for a touchpad commonly used on HP notebook computers—a
keystroke logger that could be turned on with a simple change to
its configuration in the Windows registry.
