iPod virus pathetic advisory

Apple's recent advisory on the reported iPod virus lacked information that can help users. A cursory analysis of the advisory shows a lack of really helpful information for users and looks more of a cheap shot at Microsoft's expense. The advisory did mention that less than 1 percent of the Video iPods shipped after September 12, 2006 carried the Windows RavMonE.exe virus. The advisory also noted that it had seen less than 25 reports concerning this problem. This known virus affects only Windows computers, and up-to-date anti-virus software which is included with most Windows computers should detect and remove it. iPod nano, iPod shuffle and Mac OS X are not affected, and all Video iPods now shipping are virus-free.
