AVG - iTunes issues

A database update to antivirus software AVG over the weekend caused the software to quarantine the popular Apple store software iTunes. It viewed the iTunes’ library files as a Trojan virus.

“Unfortunately, a recent virus database update resulted in iTunes being detected as a Trojan by AVG security products. We can confirm that it was a false alarm. AVG immediately released a new virus database update (definition file 270.13.29/2260) that corrected this issue,” the company wrote in response to complaints on Apple’s support forums and its own official forums.

On that note, an MSP customer was affected and I was able to trans-globally remotely solve the current affliction via Samarra,Costa Rica - my New Delhi, India support partners - and the customer's computer in Charleston, SC all in a matter of an hour!
