Product Review : New iPod brings Ravmon


The magazines and some discussion board did claim that Apple product, new iPod brings a virus called ravmon.exe. It will happen only on Windows. Based on the report Apple claims less 1% of the products come along with the virus. Apple also confirmed that all iPod shuffle, iPod nano,and Mac OS X are not affected, only the aforementioned new iPod video (comes in the 30gb and the 80gb). But all iPod videos shipping now are virus free.There is a statement said

"As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it."

I think this is such an irresponsible statement. Blaming the others for what they just did by their own and for sure their own contract factories that run the computers on Windows platfrom. Based on my experienced, ravmon is not that easy to be cleaned by using an antivirus itself. It also damage the files and duplicating itself like crazy in my computer.I'll give my software review that relates to ravmon in the next post.
