BitDefender labels iPod has trojan virus

[moindear]

I connected my iPod video nano after many months and found that Bitdefender raised a flag for iPod drive as mass storage device.
Anything to be scared of?
All my PCs dont have any virus as far as I know, so dont think anything went in iPod during my previous sync.

Your iPod should not have exe files on it 😱

Looks like your iPod was synced with a PC which had a virus infection.

So I need to wipe the whole data, it should resolve the issue right?

Not sure why you are even using the iPod as a pen drive. Just control it using iTunes.

Just delete any .exe files on your iPod. And those viruses/trojans cannot mess up your iPod as it doesn't run on Windows 😛layful:

Am not using it as pendrive, it detects itself as Mass Storage Device.

I guess he meant not to use it using Windows Explorer.

I have not owned an iPod in a long time. Last I checked, it allowed you to split storage. One part was designed to be used for music managed by iTunes. The second storage could be used as a pen drive.
I do not think you can manage songs on the iPod using File Manager. :

iTunes is the second worst piece of software I use, first is KIES
That is the reason I stopped using iPod, just to avoid iTunes.
