|
|
Since my first computer got killed by numerous viruses ( virii? ) to the point where it completely stopped working, where it wouldn't even turn on, my iPod has also become infected. I have sync'd it with my computer while it was infected, and I use it as an external hard drive.
After the computer was infected, all restore points were deleted, and I was unable to see the wallpaper, icons, or Start bar. In order to use the computer, I had to use Task Manager > File > New Task > Browse.
Some time after that, the computer completely stopped working.
I don't want to plug it into my new computer in fear of that being infected, too.
| Code: | iPod Model: iPod Classic 80 gigabyte
Virus: Began with Win32.Parite. Don't ask how; that's what it started with.
Infected Computer: Windows XP |
What can I do to clear my iPod of viruses without infecting another computer? |

1. Get an antivirus on the computer you're using (I think ESET has a beta Smart Security that's free at the moment).
2. You can use the iPod as a drive, correct? Just use the antivirus program to scan all the files on it. |
