iphone wipes laptop drivers??

[glendalf81]

has anybody ever had the above problem,

i was trying to restore and iphone 3g that i had jailbroken for a friend with ipad baseband and they foolishly tried to reset data and settings from the iOS settings,

it was stuck in a recovery/boot loop and i used irecovery to kick it out of loop while that worked and the loop was stopped but then then iphone could not be detected so i checked in control panel>device manager only to discover ALL drivers had been disabled and i mean ALL including network, usb, optical drives and card reader meaning all i could do was reinstall windows,

i have sorted the iphone and my laptop now was just wondering how common this was as its happened twice to me now

Yours might be a different issue, I don't think the iPhone is capable of removing drivers from your computer.

yeah, it shouldn't even have access to your drivers.

A long time ago, china had put viruses on some ipods, that was cleaned up by apple though. The viruses never did that kind of harm however.

happened on 2 different machines, since found out it happened to a friend of mine too always with iphone 3G never happened with 3GS or 4, could it be some kind of clash with windows 7 and iphone as we are both running that
