Ipod Virus: Modern Way Of Spreading Viruses? by Wilfem(m): 9:36pm On Oct 02, 2007 |
Two of my cousins were brought a 4Gb Apple Ipod each from abroad and while we were transferring songs into it, My antivirus (Kaspersky) raised an alert of detection of two viruses (RavMonE.exe and Win32.RJump.a) I was so disturbed and confused because we were the one who unpacked the ipod, so I wondered how else it could have contracted the viruses. It was when I was loking for a help on the net that I eventually found a confirmatory link of how the ipods might have been infected with the viruses. Here is the link: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/ipod-virus.htm Fellow ipod users, please beware of this 'because those viruses are "malware" which are capable of disabling one or two functions on the Pc. Is this a modern way of transferring/spreading viruses? |
