04/10/2007 Apple iPod Virus
Massachusetts-based Internet security company, Kaspersky Lab recently found a virus designed to infect iPods. The company claims that this is the first iPod virus, but says we shouldn't worry about it too much. The Podloso virus can only affect iPods with Linux installed on them, and the virus can't automatically infect the popular digital audio player. The only way for Podloso to get on your iPod is if you install it.

Podloso will scan your iPod's hard drive and will affect .elf files. If you try to open these files, you'll just get a message on the screen that says, "You are infected with Oslo the first iPodLinux Virus."
