It was only a matter of time before someone developed a proof-of-concept virus aimed at the iPod. Discovered by Kaspersky Lab, the virus is a file that can be launched and run on an iPod. The good news for the majority of iPod users is that Linux must be installed on the device for the virus to function; iPods running Linux are a decidedly smaller subset. If the virus, dubbed “Podloso,” should manage to latch onto such an iPod, it would install itself in the folder that contains the program demo versions.
