Apple iPod's First Virus Detected

It seems like iPod users should now be extremely careful as Security vendor Kaspersky Labs has recently announced it has detected the first virus designed to infect iPod portable media players.

...users need not be too concerned as this is simply a concept program which does not pose a real threat. The virus can only function when Linux is installed on the iPod.

(Shawn's Comment: "Oh...")

If Podloso is inserted by the user, it installs itself to the folder which contains program demo versions. It cannot be launched automatically.

(Shawn's Comment: So you have to install this "virus" yourself?)

The good news is the virus cannot automatically spread and infect other devices without users installing it first.

(Shawn's Comment: Not much of a "virus" then is it? But thanks for scaring every one needlessly...)
