Quick Report

Geekom has removed legacy download pages after security tools flagged a LAN driver package used on older mini PCs as malware. The issue was reportedly tied to a legacy download page that remained accessible and indexed by search engines, even though it was not linked from the main product page.

The company said the problem was limited to legacy pages and that current driver pages are clean, but it also recommended that anyone who downloaded the package scan their systems, remove the file, and reinstall drivers from trusted sources. The incident is a reminder that even older support pages can still present real security exposure when outdated files remain online, especially for enthusiast hardware that can be hard to track through search engines and vendor support archives.
