    Whenever I plug my ipod into someone's laptop or pc a warning comes up saying something about a worm virus or something on the autorun of the ipod. Anyone know how to clear this?

    do this on the users machine

    Download Flash_Disinfector.exe from here and save it to your desktop.
    • Double-click Flash_Disinfector.exe to run it and follow any prompts that may appear.
    • The utility may ask you to insert your flash drive and/or other removable drives including your mobile phone. Please do so and allow the utility to clean up those drives as well.
    • Wait until it has finished scanning and then exit the program.
    • Reboot your computer when done.

      Note: Flash_Disinfector will create a hidden folder named autorun.inf in each partition and every USB drive plugged in when you run it. Don't delete this folder...it will help protect your drives from future infection.
