False positive.

Hi, im having the same problem. Should i be afraid? I think its multiplying and AVG can't solve it. How do you get rid of it?

Odd, I got the same thing today- same day. I uninstalled quicktime, deleted the file, emptied recycle bin, rebooted, and reinstalled quicktime directly from Apple and get the same message again in AVG. Very irritating! I see the note that it is a false positive but I have to wonder.... I am leaving the file in QT for now. Any more advice on this one is appreciated.

I have the same problem. What is most annoying is that whenever I try to update an app through iTunes on my PC, Apple keeps requesting my credit card info. I've decided for now to only use mt iPhone for updates.

I finally got around to installing iTunes on my laptop. I installed the 64-bit version, and AVG Free reported this trojan in quicktime. I allowed AVG to block quicktime from creating an entry in the HKLM Run hive (a practice I find very irritating and unnecessary. I don't want QT there). I then scanned the machine online with TrendMicro housecall and came up clean. I then removed AVG and installed Norton 2011, and it came up clean as well.

Probably a false positive.

Yea guys, i have the same problem, has anyone found a solution yet?

Yeah, I think so. I ran AVG free AV/AS and it quarantined the Dropper2 trojan and the registry entry from the SysWoW folder and everything still works. I rebooted, ran iTunes, synced, rebooted again and everything still works with no sign of the virus. I called Apple yesterday wanting to know why I had to keep entering my account info and they wanted me to log in, change my password, then change it back. This might have been an honest attempt to solve my problem, but I wasn't born yesterday and I really see no reason for me to change my password and then change it back again. If I've hurt someone at Apple's feelings, well... boo hoo!!

I'm having the same issue, and AVG won't let me move it to vault. I have no choice but to ignore it or uninstall completely. The false positives on this forum make me feel better but this is still an annoyance...

It's in my AVG virus vault and there is no sign of it in Program Files(x86)\QuickTime. My system works fine without it, whatever it was. And whether it is a 'false positive' or not, I'm glad it's gone. I get very suspicious when I get repeated requests for my credit card info, especially this time of the year when credit card fraud sky-rockets. Even if it's from iTunes, when there have been no updates to warrant the disclosure of such information.

Yes, false positive. The latest set of definitions for AVG has also been taking out the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware security application too. For example (from the AVG forumes):

i got a threat detected message as well. since its a false positive do i just ignore it?

thanks,

No, it didn't. I did my AVG update and then download Quicktime again and tried to install. AVG immediately detect it as a virus. So it is not fixed, as far as I am concerned. I am using Windows XP SP3 and AVG Free Edition.

I will not install Quicktime again until this issue has been fixed.

I don't believe in 'false' positives. AVG removed the offending virus from QuickTime and everything still works without the "virus". I'm not about to re-install something from the Virus Vault because someone thinks it's a false positive. Maybe AVG's software is the only product 'smart' enough to recognize and remove it.

Well how really is your computer secure?
