AVG Update Breaks iTunes

nate_in_ME writes "After getting a positive from the AVG virus detector while playing music on iTunes just a few minutes ago, I did a bit of research. It appears that AVG has recently pushed an update to the virus definitions that flags every iPod/iTunes related file as being infected with the 'Small.BOG' trojan. Interestingly enough, AVG does not have any information on this particular virus in their virus encyclopedia. Discussion on the Apple forum is up to 4 pages and climbing. One user there had an interesting thought: 'Maybe Palm has some shares in AVG...MUAHAAAA!!' (on page 3)."

Here's a thought learn how to use your software.
iTunes is making copies because you told it to in the preferences.
if iTunes is to complex for you sell your computer and buy an acubus.

Y'know, AVG doesn't have a good reputation /to/ tarnish. The only people who use them are the ignorant or willfully stupid. Which, admittedly, is a lot.
