AVG multiple threat warning from itunes?

[lovehatehero]

Just downloaded the new version of itunes from the apple website and as i went to load the installer my avg popped up with easily over 50+ files. Is this just a mistake or should i be worried now.

Here's what i mean

Apple is the new Sony?

Could be false positive. Could be an AVG update gone bad. Could be you got a virused version.

In all seriousness, could be apples attempt to extract some random info from your computer in a new version regarding media and avg picked up on it, or yea just tons of false positives due to an avg update. I'd email apple haha

They're false positives. Wait for the next AVG update.

It's a false positive for sure. To get rid of it for now, add your Itunes folder to the exceptions list until AVG updates. Then it should be fixed and you can remove it again.

Thread name: AVE says this file has a virus!!!!

First off, stop using AVG. It's like the ZoneAlarm of antivirus suites. Use NOD32 instead.

If the file still appears to have some sort of virus, upload it to VirusTotal where the file will be scanned by 35 different products.

Now take a look at the results. If you see a lot of virus descriptions containing "Generic/Packed/Suspicious" and the count is below 50% positive, you can probably assume it's NOT a virus and safe to run. If the all the various products tend to agree on a similar non-generic virus name, it's probably a virus.

Either way, NOD32 should prevent you from running any infected files.

As a closing note: most major scene cracks/keygens use some sort of executable packer/registry editor which sets off false positives in crappy antivirus programs. If it's really a scene release (has nfo, known group), chances are it won't have a virus/trojan.
