Re: Itunes: the new mega virus.. or not
Exact same thing happened to me last night. Just update your AVG definitions and you're all set. Maybe Microsoft bought AVG?

Re: Itunes: the new mega virus.. or not
I had some people on Teamspeak and Xfire hit me up about this.
Told them the best thing to do is switch to Avast!, which is almost always ranked better than AVG as far as free anti-virus goes.
On guy had actually uninstalled AVG and installed Norton instead. I tried my best not to laugh and I won't name names

I got sick of false positives in AVG (although I consider flagging Itunes as a mildly truthful editorial) so I switched to Avira. I like it better than Avast! and certainly a lot better than AVG.

Any not to turn this into an AV debate because it's not. I think it's funny this happened since many people itunes is a legal virus lol.

I've just checked out this new one I have never heard of it's called Bull guard and seems very good and effective and they also have a gamers edition.
