Heads Up - AVG Free Thinks iTunes is a Trojan

I did my weekly virus scan with AVG Free last night and it's taken out iTunes quarantining multiple iTunes files  Angry
A quick Google suggests that definition file 270.13.29/2260  fixes the problem so I suggest that if you're not on this definition file you update now.
A re-install of ITunes seems to get it working again.

Just had a confusing half hour on the phone with a friend asking for help with a berserk AVG. I should have read the PN forum first!

MacAfee thought Spotify was a virus a month or two ago.

That last one is probably accurate -  Embarrassed - whoops repeat 100 times "I am not a MAC user"
