http://aircrewbuzz.com/2008/10/officials-release-preliminary-report-on.html A more recent Interim report: http://www.fomento.es/NR/rdonlyres/AADDBF93-690C-4186-983C-8D897F09EAA5/75736/2008_032_A_INTERINO_01_ENG.pdf The crew apparently skipped the step where they were supposed to deploy the slats/flaps prior to takeoff. Additionally, the warning system on the aircraft which should have alerted the crew to the failure to extend the flaps/slats also failed to sound. A computer virus may have had a small contribution to the failure to detect the warning system failure in the maintenance process, but, it did not cause the accident. The accident is clearly the result of pilot error, specifically the failure to properly configure the aircraft for takeoff and failure to take remedial action upon activation of the stall warning system during the initial climb.
