Disable AVG Trojan Horse False Alarm In iTunes

by Abi on July 27, 2009

If your AVG anti virus identifies and detects that there’s Trojan inside your iTunes files, then AVG will send a warning and as a security attempt, AVG will quarantine these infected files and prevent iTunes from working. Actually, it’s false warning when in fact there’s no such thing. AVG has made a big mistake in detecting iTunes files as a Trojan horse inside your iTunes.

This confusion only occurs if you’re using free edition of AVG Anti Virus. But if you upgrade it to full AVG Security Suite or other anti virus application such MCAfee, Kaspersky or Norton, this won’t be happening.
This is just a false alarm or warning, you can disable the false alert by creating an exception in AVG.

  1. Open AVG
  2. Go to Resident Shield -> Manage Exceptions -> Add Path
  3. Add C:\Program Files\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iPod
