Can viruses do anything to my iPod? I just downloaded an antivirus and all of my music files were infected. So after deleting them all (), I was wondering if that was the reason why my iPod was being crappy recently (battery dies after seconds, the times when all my songs get deleted).
Um I'm no expert, but a computer and an iPod are two whole different things. In other words, a virus can't affect an iPod the same way as a computer. Buuuut, if the music files were infected while putting them on the iPod, I'm sure the only thing that would happen (at the worst) is the files wouldn't play. I hardly doubt an infected file would ruin your battery like that. Who knows? I'd go to the nearest electronic store and ask for more expert help.
So I just scanned my iPod with my antivirus and it had no viruses, so I guess it's okay. I need to go to Apple soon and get my battery replaced. It's killing me.
