Apple iPod with Windows Virus
| It’s not everyday you see the words computer virus and MP3 player used in the same sentence, especially when it comes to the Apple iPod. It has been recently discovered that a small number of the Video iPods available for purchase after September 12, 2006, left the contract manufacturer carrying the Windows RavMonE.exe virus. This known virus affects only Windows computers, and up to date anti-virus software included with most Windows computers should detect and remove it. If you do not have anti-virus software on your Windows computer, install one of the many available programs. Here are a few trial programs that can remove this Windows virus which you can download free of charge:
Install an anti-virus application, attach your Video iPod to your Windows computer and run the anti-virus program. If your Windows system is infected, an alert will be triggered and inform you that the virus has been detected and either quarantined or removed. Use iTunes 7 to easily restore the software on your newly purchased Video iPod. Windows virus propagates via mass storage devices. Scan any mass storage devices that you have recently attached to your Windows computers such as external hard drives, digital cameras with removable media, and USB flash drives. |

While this Windows virus does not affect Mac OS X or the iPod itself, Mac customers can use iTunes 7 to easily restore the software on their newly purchased Video iPod to ensure that it does not carry this Windows virus. The Video iPod can then be used on a Windows computer without concern. The iPod nano, iPod shuffle and Mac OS X are not affected, and all Video iPods now shipping are virus free. |
