Security Firm Kaspersky Lab Creates Ipod Virus

Saint_Michael
With the flood of news coming about the .ani exploits it seems the tech world is recieve more news about new hacks, viruses and other bad stuff these days. Today Kaspersky Lab created a virus that is able to affect the Ipod, however, it is only affecting Ipod's that have linux installed and not the standard OS that comes with Ipod. The virus goes by the name of Podloso, although they say it doesn't show a current threat this virus does show the possiblity to install malware into devices such as the Ipod. They also mention that the virus does not copy it self and thus hte user must install it ifrom another Ipod n order for the virus to go into effect. Also the virus will not go from Ipod to Pc either (well not yet)

They do mention that their are several hundred known phone viruses that are out their in the tech world.

    it can be a virus if it's not run from the C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\

    from Excel 2000 to Excel 2003 SP2, and it also includes the Mac Version of Excel 2004 as well. OF
    course with the disappointment of Office 2007 by some people will still be running the 2003 versions

    link - your computer will be infected. Beware - the epidemic only started a few days ago. If you
