Kaspersky, a Russian security vendor has claimed that they have found the world’s first iPod virus, according to their virus news. The virus name is called Podloso and indeed, do not pose any threat to the iPod. However, to avoid confusion, this virus will only function if the user install the Linux operating system to the iPod instead of the Apple operating system. By this logic, I wonder any iPod user would like to have Linux as the main operating system on their iPod and the main point here is: this virus not an iPod virus, but a Linux virus that designed to infect the iPod player.

Since the first inception in 1997, Kaspersky has won several awards including the prestigious Computer Shopper Five-Star Award. Its Anti-Virus software also received Virus Bulletin 100% on Microsoft’s latest operating system, i.e. Windows Vista and has been successfully spotted the first worm, i.e. Cabir that designed to infect Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones three years ago.
