Could you download a virus from your computer into your iPod?
AnswerYes, it is very possible that a virus or other malware (malicious code) could infect you computer and then infect you Ipod. Malware (viruses, trojan horses, rootkits, worms, spyware, adware and other malicious code) are designed to infect as many devices (computers, flash drives, ipods, etc) possible. This has actually happened to me. I let my friend use my flash drive. I was not aware of it at the time but his home computer was infected with malware. When he inserted the my flash drive into his computer the malware copied itself onto my flash drive. The next day he gave me my flash drive back and I inserted into my computer. My anti-malware software detected the malware and removed from the flash drive.WebRepcurrentVotenoRatingnoWeightNow yes in my case it was a flash drive that was infected not an iPod, but the same thing can occur with an iPod. If you want to prevent this open you anti-malware software and find the settings. Make sure you have removable media scanning enabled. Not all anti-malware software allows you to scan removable media (things that you plug into you computer like iPods, flash drives, cds , etc). I use Avast Free Antivirus and it allows me to scan removable media. If you would like to download Avast you can get it herehttp://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html?tag=mncol;1
