Windows virus bites Apple iPods

A Windows virus was also found on a McDonalds MP3 player

Apple is warning that some video iPods are harbouring a Windows virus.
In a statement on its website Apple said that a small number of video iPods sold after 12 September are carrying the RavMonE virus. The company said that, so far, it had seen "less than 25 reports" of the problem affecting users. In a similar incident McDonalds Japan has recalled MP3 players it gave away after finding they were infected with a nasty spyware program.

Full story here.

What i forgot to mention in the title was that it was a Windows based PC that infected the iPods.

The circle of life continues.
