A dodgy update for AVG Antivirus has knocked out iTunes from working properly. According to The Register a dodgy AVG update over the weekend left users with crippled iTunes installations.
The faulty signature update meant iTunes.dll and iTunesRegistry.dll library files were falsely labelled as infected with the Small-BOG virus, and consigned into quarantine. As a result, AVG both prevented iTunes from working and the re-installation of Apple's software
Scores of people who have fallen fowl on the issue flooded onto Apple’s support forum. AVG support forums also filled up with queries. AVG aslo issued a statement apologising for the cock up and explaining how to restore systems to normal operation. Unfortunately, a recent virus database update resulted in iTunes being detected as a Trojan by AVG security products.
So if this has happened to you and you use AVG Antivirus and iTunes then you now know why.

Hadn't heard about this small bog virus till this thread came along.
Is this where your willy won't quite fit down the pan?
