We have seen the recent reports that a driver file associated with GEEKOM was flagged by several security scanners, and we take these concerns seriously.
We want to sincerely apologise. This issue traces back to an outdated resource that we failed to remove from our older pages in time, and we are sorry for the concern and inconvenience it has caused our users and the wider community.
After a thorough internal review, we can confirm that the matter is confined to legacy pages. Our current driver pages show no such anomalies, and this does not affect GEEKOM hardware or the operating system pre-installed on our devices.
We are now removing the affected legacy files and tightening our resource-management and review processes to prevent any recurrence.
If you have already downloaded or run this file
If you previously downloaded the affected LAN driver package, we recommend the following steps as a precaution:
- Do not run the flagged installer, and delete any copy you may have saved locally.
- Run a full scan with Windows Security (Microsoft Defender) or another trusted anti-malware tool.
- Reinstall your network driver from a trusted source — via Windows Update or the official Realtek website — or use the updated package from the official GEEKOM site.
- For complete peace of mind, you may perform a clean installation of Windows using Microsoft’s official image.
- If you need any assistance, please contact GEEKOM support@geekom.au and our team will help you directly.
Please note that, because this concerns a downloadable driver file rather than the system pre-installed on your device, simply owning a GEEKOM mini PC does not mean your system is affected.
Downloading drivers safely
To stay safe, please download drivers via the SUPPORT button in the navigation bar on the official GEEKOM website, rather than through older links that may still appear in Google search results.
We are grateful to the community for its vigilance and understanding. Protecting the security and trust of every GEEKOM user remains our highest priority.
