Apple avertit les utilisateurs que certains de ces nouveaux iPod sont infectés par le virus RavMonE.exe qui cible les ordinateurs tournant sous Windows. Dans l’avertissement publié sur son site, Apple indique que seul un petit nombre d’iPod Video produits après le 12 septembre 2006 sont touchés par ce virus.

Message délivré par Apple au regard des iPod "mules":
We recently discovered that a small number - less than 1% - of the Video iPods available for purchase after September 12, 2006, left our contract manufacturer carrying the Windows RavMonE.exe virus. 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. So far we have seen less than 25 reports concerning this problem. The iPod nano, iPod shuffle and Mac OS X are not affected, and all Video iPods now shipping are virus free. As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it.
