Default Re: Virus/Spywear on look-alike ipod MP4

Hi tadad1

Yes all 5 were from the same supplier, however i had bought mp3's from the seller before no problems so i bought them in confidence.

As for virus etc automatically copying onto removable devices, i highly doubt it as there are loads of removable devices connected to my pc: Other mp4s, mp3s, memory card readers, and mass storage devices: All of which i have checked and none affected.

Surely any virus which would copy itself would copy onto all connected devices, and not just a certain 'batch' of mp4s?

Anyways; When i found the virus on the mp4 the pc was doing a full system scan (mabey i should have pointed this out) so it probably would have found anything on the PC causing this then.

I believe this virus has been placed on the mp4 at time of manufacture.
I would like to know if anyone else has experienced a similar problem.
