Video iPods Shipped with Windows Virus
Quite funny method of daunting Windows users has been seen on some latest Apple iPod Video players. The RavMonE.exe virus installed on some video iPods at the factory should be detected and zapped by any Windows antivirus software with up-to-date definitions, Apple said. While RavMonE.exe doesn’t affect Mac OS X, it will, of course, infect Windows running on an Intel-based Mac via Boot Camp, Parallels, or similar software. The virus in question should be detected and zapped by any antivirus software with up-to-date definitions, Apple said.
The company recommends that Windows users attach their video iPods to their computers, run their antivirus application, and then restore the iPod to its original factory settings through iTunes. The virus uses mass storage devices to propagate, so Apple also advises users to scan other external devices too.While RavMonE.exe doesn’t affect Mac OS X, it will, of course, infect Windows running on an Intel-based Mac via Boot Camp, Parallels, or similar software. Such users should also undertake the steps recommended by Apple, if they are using a Windows-formatted video iPod. How is this even possible? Some crazy bet of bored Apple developers?

wow, shouldnt even been released like that. WTF was apple thinking… “just use your antivirus to scan your brand new out of the box ipod, because it may have a virus on it from the factory.”
WOW that really makes apples Customer relations/support look like bunch of shit throwing monkeys…
Martin, your text is confuse and repetitive
Can you sue apple for infecting your computer?
No offense, but that is a terribly written article. Jesus Christ, how many times can you repeat the same thing over and over?!?
