I'm playing Nazi Zombies in CoD right now, and I was getting bored so I decided to turn on my music. When I double clicked my iTunes icon though, AVG gave me a warning that there were 2 small trojans in my iTunes. I decided to run a full computer scan, and right now it's showing 6 threats so far in my iTunes. I try to heal the viruses, but it just gives me a message that says "the action was interrupted by the user. I didn't download anything harmful into my iTunes, but I have no idea what the hell is going on. Help pl0x. EDIT: There are now 83 viruses found. All of them seem to be in iTunes Helper, iTunes Mini Player, and iPod Service.

iTunes is legit unless you have LimeWire or some other music provider that is connected with iTunes.

I think that the problem is that you're using AVG. Check the files with another anti-virus.

Andwoos said: "I think that the problem is that you're using AVG. Check the files with another anti-virus." He is right. AVG very recently updated their database and I believe that AVG mistakes one of the files in iTunes as a trojan. BOG, or something along those lines. This is most likely a mistake by AVG. A solution to this is: 1. Open up AVG 2. Open Resident Shield 3. Add these two paths: C:Program FilesiTunes C:Program FilesiPod And it should work fine. It did for me. EDIT: Crap, basil won't let me put slashes in my paths. D: There should be slashes between the :, the end of the word Files, and at the end of the word iTunes.
