I just updated AVG manually (24 July, 11pm Mountain Time) and iTunes seems to be working fine now. I click on the iTunes icon on my quick launch after the update and it started like it was installing or updating again, but it just created another shortcut icon on my desktop then promptly opened like normal. Probably, like mentioned many times above, an AVG issue.
I have the same error. Re-installing with the previous version did not help. Worked fine last night and since install, and my computer has been off all day.
Turned up today during a scan for the first time. Got exposed to virus yesterday, so thought this might be related. Tried to remove - with no luck. Will TRY to monitor this discussion IF I can work out how!
i've got exactly the same message from AVG, no idea whether it's a misdiagnosis or i've actually got trojan horse
it's weird though because itunes was working perfectly fine earlier
if anyone's got any idea whatsoever about how to combat this trojan or whether it's a false alarm i would gladly listen
please help!
Brand new windows installation, not even on internet (iTunes Installer, AVG on usb stick. Can't imagine!) AVG must be misdetecting something or apple has something on their servers that they don't know about yet.
