The RavMonE virus is a computer virus that affects PCs running Windows, and lowers the security of your computer by creating a back door. A back door is essentially a way that hackers or programmers can gain access to your computer files without going through security protocol. This means that when you are online, hackers could potentially gather information from your computer without your knowledge. Fortunately this virus is easy to defeat with anti-viral software, but you do need to have that software installed, and make certain that you are running it regularly to check for new viruses.

While any Virus scanning utility can remove this iPod W32/RJump.worm, an easier approach would be run the McAfee AVERT Stinger that just detects and removes specific viruses from your system. Now attach the Video iPod and run the anti-virus program. You can then use iTunes 7 to restore the iPod back to the factory default settings though this would delete all existing iPod data like music and videos.
