    Default AVG & itunes false positive

    My AVG picked up 1057 infections in a recent scan. I was freaked out, and immediately began researching. The infection is called trojan horse small.BOG. I found these links:

    http://news.puggal.com/itunes-trojan-horse-smallbog/

    My only worry is that both these links say that it can return up to 181 infections, and my computer returned 1,057! What do you guys think? Am I good? Subsequent scans returned zero results.

    Was the problem resolved specifically "after" you updated the definitions.

    iTunes reported as a Trojan by AVG - How to Fix Saturday, 25th July 2009 - Unfortunately, a recent virus database update resulted in iTunes being detected as a Trojan by AVG security products. We can confirm that it was a false alarm. AVG immediately released a new virus database update (definition file 270.13.29/2260) that corrected this issue.
