How does my I-Pod give me a Malware virus, causing me to wipe out my computer?

No. Obviously a virus can only get transferred through .exes. :downs:

Standalone .mp3 files can't be malicious.

Also, iTunes isn't an antivirus, why should iTunes have "detained" it?

chances are you put something on there from whatever p2p site you downloaded your songs from and one of them is hidden and recopies itself over after each connection

As someone else said, MP3's can't be infected on their own.

Are you sure that it really was your iPod and not those questionable downloads that you are running in the background.

Why do i think this would be so awesome if they actually were..

[QUOTE=BmB;18402203]iPods are made by Apple so they are 100% virus proof... ![/QUOTE]

Well if it's HFS formatted they effectively are... considering the fact that even if you got a virus on there, windows computers can't read it without third-party software. It's the WinPods that get you into trouble.

[QUOTE=redBadger;18360612]Ok, so the other day, my computer shit itself, got Malware, and I had to wipe the computer's memory out and start from scratch. Anyway, it's fine now, (after re-installing everything) and it is because my I-Pod was plugged into the computer. How is this possible, does my ipod have a virus or something??[/QUOTE]

Unless you put virus's on your Ipod I dont see how it can.... Unless one of your songs is infected with it then no. I recommend scanning it just for the hell of it... Was it so hard that you had to start a thread?
