Exclamation Great --- my new Aluratek Libre came with a virus!

Well, opened my new Aluratek Libre and was feeling good till I connected it to my computer. Voila! A virus on the SD card with the 100 free e-books. It is the W32.Gammima.AG virus and the file name is 9g86.exe. Just finished creating a support ticket via Aluratek's website. My Norton caught it and got rid of it. What about the device itself? Is there anything else I could do?

Definitely not the first time I've seen that on flash memory from China (or even reputable brands here too).

Don't think it could harm the reader, not designed for that OS or CPU.
