Trojan horse warning

[BubblePuppy]

My anti-virus program (AVG) found 77 infected files yesterday Sat.(25th) morning, these are just two samples:"C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.Resources\da.lproj\iPod ServiceLocalized.dll";"Trojan horse Small.BOG";"Moved to Virus Vault"
"C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\da.lproj\iTunesLocal ized.dll";"Trojan horse Small.BOG";"Moved to Virus Vault"

These weren't there friday as I ran three scans, with AVG, Avast, and Windows Defender. AVG is also scheduled to scan at 1:30am everyday. These infections weren't there early sat. morning. The infections were only in the Ipod/Itunes files. I didn't download anything, did not open any email. I don't have a ipod, iphone, or any mac products.
I'm running Vista.
I just thought I would post this as a warning.

1) Update AVG
2) Scan again.

I got that as well from AVG but not from anything else. I tried to reinstall iTunes using the setup file that I had downloaded last week & as it was installing, AVG was claiming the files were a trojan. I ended up adding the ipod & itunes directories under program files to the exceptions list. This was on my Windows 7 64-bit machine & on my husband's Vista Ultimate 64-bit machine.

I figured it had to be a false positive. I searched Friday for information but there wasn't any available yet.

I updated AVG just before I ran the scan. I quess it wasn't corrected in the update.
Thanks for the info.

I reinstalled & everything was fine. I didn't lose anything probably because the Preference files are under the user directory & the files AVG didn't like were under the program files directory.

Since I don't have any iproducts is there a reason I should reinstall thee files?

No, not unless you need iTunes. Why did you have iTunes installed? Past Apple products?

Preinstalled in my new laptop.
I never had any apple products.

I'd uninstall it, then. Especially since AVG has hosed the installation anyway.

[DodgerKing]

I got the same. I removed it and then iTunes would no longer run. I had to reinstall iTunes. All is now good with iTunes and AVG no longer looks at these files as being Trojans.

I read that a system restore will solve the issue and save one from having to do a reinstall. I'll give it a try.
