iPod touch OMG!!! win32 Virus on my iPod Touch?!?

[hbah427]

I encountered something...odd...on my ipod. Browsing the web, I noticed something fishy...

OH MY GOSH!!!! I HAVE 8 INFECTED FILES!!!!!!!
I guess it was because I'm synced with a Windows box?
I didnt click the repair button. Should I?
XD

Edit: Yes, this is a joke!
I'm not that dumb!

do it

Wait, is this something you came across on a website while surfing with the iPod Touch? You do realize that it's not really doing a virus scan, right?

I don't know but guessing by the nature of the post. I am pretty sure it was a joke

Not really a joke. But sort of a scam. They try and tell you that your computer has a virus and they tell you that you should download their virus removal tool. Of course, the virus removal tool usually isn't a virus removal tool.

Would this virus even affect a Mac device?

No it doesn't. It's a scam website designed to get you to download their "virus removal program." Instead, it probably installs a virus, or loads of spyware.

I was gonna say--- when the hell would Microsoft antivirus programs run on an iPod Touch?

It's just a usual popup ad.

Microsoft sabotage

I also saw this exact same message appear on my Mac computer. Guess how many viruses it said I had? 8. Just like yours. Even though Norton AntiVirus says 0. This is just a big scam, so don't click the Repair link.

You don't even have MS Antivirus installed on an iTouch. It's a popular scam to pop up that kind of window to warn people, then get them to pay to have it "fixed". just a scam. ignore it.

Ah, the post was a joke. The OP was being ironical. (He said with a straight face).
