AVG decides iTunes is a virus
I just woke my computer (Windows Vista, AVG 8.5) from standby, plugged in my iPod Touch, and it complains that one of the iTunes DLLs is infected with the “Small.BOG” Trojan.
I hit “Heal” and all was well. iTunes wouldn’t run, obviously. So I downloaded and ran up the latest iTunes installer to repair the installation, and got “Multiple threat detection” and a list of all of the iTunes Localisation dlls.
A similar thread also appeared on the Apple forums as the number of users experiencing the problem started to grow. AVG reacted quickly though, admitted it was a false alarm, and issued a “How to fix” bulletin on Saturday. Anyone suffering with this problem can take the following steps to solve the issue:
- Update AVG
- If iTunes does not work after that open the AVG user interface.
- Choose “Virus Vault” option from the “History” menu.
- Locate the iTunes file that was incorrectly removed and select it (one click).
- Click on the “Restore” button.
