iTunes crashes when PC is connected to the internet (Exception code, 0xC0000005)

I have been using iTunes for several years, however recently I have been unable to open iTunes while connected to the internet without the program crashing stating;

"iTunes 12.7.0.166 has crashed. A minidump file has been created in the following location:"

When I open the minidump file in Visual Studio, I am presented with the error;

"Exception code 0xC0000005"

"The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access"

When I disable the internet adapter, iTunes opens and runs normally, but once it connects to the internet it crashes and I get the error.

I am an administrator, and I have run iTunes as an administrator, but I get the same error.

I have reinstalled, updated drivers, and searched for solutions. I have disabled my anti-virus (Kaspersky), and checked that my RAM is not corrupted or damaged.

My PC is a custom built desktop:

i5 4690K,

16GB DDR3 (4 x 4GB),

R9 390 8GB,

And I am running Windows 10, Version 1703.

(Side note, I have also recently moved into university accommodation. The across accommodation and campus wifi is eduroam, incase that helps.)
