AVG today has a truly alarming alert for iTunes users – a virus. An iTunes virus is very unlikely to exist. iTunes installations are secure and are free of viruses or spywares. iTunes is one legit app that doesn’t need to include malicious codes like the so-called “trojan horse small.bog“.
If you have encountered this “iTunes virus” aka iTunes Trojan Horse Small.Bog, don’t give in to the prompts or alerts you’ve received from AVG Antivirus software (if you haven’t done so yet). This is clearly a false positive and should be ignored. If you quarantine or remove all the alleged viruses it found in iTunes, your iTunes installation will get screwed. Re-installation though is easy but why waste more time?
To ignore the iTunes virus warning alert, proceed to Resident Shield -> Manage Exceptions -> Add Path (to iTunes and iPod directories), i.e., C:\Program Files\iTunes as well as C:\Program Files\iPod. Nod32 ESET doesn’t recognize any iTunes virus or any trojan horse (small.bog) and it has a free edition like AVG. We suggest you try this antivirus software if you’ve decided to uninstall AVG. Just a friendly suggestion.
Also, if you’re wondering if this error in detecting the iTunes virus mentioned above, read more about the fake alerts given by Home Antivirus 2010 (removal instructions also discussed) and you’ll see that antivirus softwares really do screw up.
