iTunes feature where the library keeps getting damaged?

Hi!


I noticed that iTunes has a very odd feature where the iTunes Library keeps getting damaged. I don't think this feature is very helpful. Is there a way to turn this setting off anywhere?

The most likely explanation is interference by third party AV software. Any real-time scanning component should have an exception for the iTunes folder. Shut down iTunes before you shut down your computer.
