“Small Number” of iPod Videos have Windows Virus!
Thursday, October 19th, 2006I couldn’t help laughing when I saw this one! http://www.apple.com/support/windowsvirus/
One of those “virus” things Windows users get were shipped with a few of the new iPods. Hey maybe mine has one, for all I care, it can have a thousand, Linux protects me from that. Haha, had to get that dig in there. 
Apple:
“We recently discovered that a small number - less than 1% - of the Video iPods available for purchase after September 12, 2006, left our contract manufacturer carrying the Windows RavMonE.exe virus. This known virus affects only Windows computers, and up to date anti-virus software which is included with most Windows computers should detect and remove it. So far we have seen less than 25 reports concerning this problem. The iPod nano, iPod shuffle and Mac OS X are not affected, and all Video iPods now shipping are virus free. As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it.”
That last bit is great, laughed some more reading that… Although, one little thing. I’m assuming all the computers behind iPod manufactuering are Mac based, right? How did a WinVirus manage to sneak it’s way through and onto some iPods? Do Apple use Windows behind the scenes? 
Something fun to ponder there, whilst you’re checking for viruses!
