Mary LA58,

Thanks for the comment. Actually we are currently investigating the iTunes Trojan Horse Small.Bog and why it was declared by AVG as an iTunes virus. iTunes Trojan Horse Small.Bog “could” be a bug. This is only a speculation but we really think so. Remember, when you open iTunes, you are accessing the iTunes store (web access). The bug must be on iTunes’ end (web server or javascript) which affects the files loaded in your local hard drive because your computer downloads data from Apple servers when you load iTunes in your computer memory. This is probably the reason why AVG considers more than 180 files in iTunes as virus-infected.

Love this article but have 1 question;
My comp w AVG gave me the small.BOG warning when we tried to access itunes. We cannot get into itunes, nor can we download another version of it with out getting the virus warning.
If it is a “fake virus” how did we get it, why does it affect my itunes, and why can’t I redownload itunes to save my music library???

AVG really has to be blamed about the iTunes virus aka Trojan Horse Small.Bog because why can’t their antivirus software determine which is a virus and which is not? I’ll use another program to scan my computer. Maybe it will not report the iTunes Trojan Horse Small.Bog as a virus or malware just like what AVG did today. I’m really frustrated!
