AFTER Apple Computer Inc.'s admission that some of its popular iPod Video
products were inadvertently shipped with a virus that affects Windows systems, Microsoft said the virus does not exploit Windows' vulnerabilities and could be remedied.

Apple announced on its support website (http://www.apple.com/support/windowsvirus/) that some of its iPod Video products contained the virus, and that "we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it."

"A small number -- less than 1 percent -- of the Video iPods available for purchase after September 12, 2006, left our contract manufacturer carrying the Windows RavMonE.exe virus," a statement at the Apple website read. "So far we have seen less than 25 reports concerning this problem. The iPod nano, iPod shuffle and Mac OS X are not affected, and all Video iPods now shipping are virus-free."
