Ye I saw this. Most AV's should stop it and apparently it's only 1% of all video iPods.

Love their fault page tho!!

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.

this shouldnt effect the ipod itself, just the computer its linked to if its running windows right?

That's correct mate

ROFL yeah agreed. I guess they've got to expect it though. As soon as they design something that interacts with a Windows based machine, they're open to attack.
