Some iPod Video Shipped with Windows Virus Inside

In a TechNote, Apple is aknowledging that less than 1% of the iPod Video have been shipped with a Windows virus, identified as RavMonE.exe.
Of course Apple claims that it is due to its contract manufacturer that did not take enough attention to it. It can really be an issue for PC users running Windows without up-to-date anti-virus solutions.
This is not the first that such thing happens, last week, free players offered by McDonalds in Japan were also infected.
Official statement:

We recently discovered that a small number - less than 1% - of the Video iPods available for purchase after September 12, 2006, left our contract manufacturer carrying the Windows RavMonE.exe virus. This known virus affects only Windows computers, and up to date anti-virus software which is included with most Windows computers should detect and remove it. 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. 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.
