Malware found on iPods

In a statement on its website Apple said that a small number of video iPods sold after 12 September are carrying the RavMonE virus, BBC News reports.
Apple said that less than 1% of video iPods sold after 12 September were despatched with the virus onboard. The company said that, so far, it had seen “less than 25 reports” of the problem affecting users.
The RavMonE virus will only activate if an infected iPod is used on a Windows PC. Apple said up to date anti-virus should spot the malicious program and stop it causing problems.
Apple said the virus got on to the gadgets via a Windows PC in the manufacturing line of one company that makes iPods.
