Latest AVG Definition Kills iTunes

Post by JBerlyn »

For anyone that uses AVG and iTunes, please ensure that you give iTunes an exception or don't update to the latest virus definition. The latest definition update detects iTunes as a Small.BOG trojan horse, which AVG are currently working on to fix this issue.

Just giving everyone a heads up. :)

Is iTunes like better to use than Windows Media player or something?

Haven't seen a performance shift while using either one.

I always thought iTunes was shitty..many people told me it took lots of resources compared to others as well. Never had any hands on with it but I don't really plan to. I'll stick to winamp/foobar

WMP is much faster than iTunes. iTunes on Windows is super bloated and a huge resource hog. Winamp is also a nice alternative.

Best music players IMO. Currently using winamp cos it has nice G15 plugin^^ Songbird is kinda fun too but it's kinda heavy program.

I love my itunes.

I like being able to rip/play/manage/buy from the same program.

I used foobar for a bit. I liked the skins but it doesn't seem as deep or developed as itunes. and WMP blows cock.

Agreed. I was devastated when my iTunes got corrupted because of AVG's mess up. The latest signature fixes this bug anywho, so everyone is free to update their AVG virus signature
