we bought my 11 year old son a ipod touch for Christmas. yesterday, i received an e-mail from him that had a virus in it. my anti virus caught it when i hit the link thankfully. and if that was the end of it, i would not be here. he has not been on his desktop computer in a week (but it has been on), so he did not send the e-mail from there. and he says he did not even send this one to me. the worse part, is it apparently got into my address book as well (maybe in the split second before my anti virus acted?) and sent messages to my address book as well. i am using avast free a/v. his has nothing, unless apple puts something in it to begin with. this is the first experience we have ever had with apple products, so i am unsure if they need a specific type of anti virus, or if anything will work. i have heard anything apple is a lot different than the ibm windows machines. i do not use his at all, what do we need to do with his machine? i am totally lost here. thanks for any help.
