Who’s Recertifying These iPods?
An interesting tale from a reliable source has just tipped up regarding buying bargain iPods online:
“The iPod came in just a couple of days--but as soon as I unwrapped it and connected it to my Mac at home I got an ominous alert from my usually quiet antivirus software. The iPod, it informed me, contained some virus known as AdobeR.exe.
As I dug into the problem, I learned something I probably should have realized before I ordered. The ‘recertified’ iPod wasn't recertified by Apple, but instead through some third party.”
The moral of the story is that if you’re going to buy a recertified part, get it directly from the manufacturer. A virus on the device could end up being the least of your problems, but it is certainly indicative of a quality control issue.

This isn't the first time its happened. I remember a story a couple years ago of virus' on iPods, though I could have sworn those ones were factory new. At least these are third party. |

could be worst the ipod could come with a video "Never Gonna Give You Up" and everytime u connect it ur pc plays it on and on. Oh the nightwares xD. |
i managed to rick roll over 20 of my friends in one day on my ipod touch it was amazing :-) i love that song. also the "virus" isnt really a virus i think... i know sometimes anti-virus gets paranoid like when it tells you the no-dvd crack you have (for your legally purchased game) is a virus even though it isnt. |
