📎 AI Summary:
The thread centers on a warning from Cisco that certain warranty-information CD-ROMs (distributed between Dec 2010 and Aug 2011) could, via autorun or simply opening the disc, redirect users to a known malware repository. The main question is whether the repository is currently offline and what users should do in response (e.g., avoiding autorun/visiting the redirected site). Overall sentiment is concern and a desire for practical guidance, with discussion focused on the risk level given the site appears to be down.

Networking giant Cisco has warned customers that a CD-ROM it supplied with its kit automatically took users to a site that was a known malware repository.

The affected CDs, designed to supply warranty information, were supplied to customers between December 2010 and August 2011. When the disc was opened, or if autorun was enabled, the disc took surfers to an unnamed malware depository site. Cisco said that the malware depository in question is currently offline, although whether it will stay that way is anybody's guess.
