Are there still people who use a PC without an antivirus running? They deserve to get infected.

Its not a virus for the iPad, its something that pops up and says that you need to upgrade your itunes software to better work with your ipad.

If you click install then it installs malware on your PC. Nothing is installed on your ipad.

It should be noted that the popup happens when you visit some questionable websites and it does not matter if you have an ipad or not.

Kind of a phony heading though. The iPad isn't affected at all.
