AVG Detects Trojan horse Small.BOG In iTunes - False Positive or Real Trojan?
ok
i have the problem everyone is getting in the last past hours. Anyone with AVG and Itunes suddenly have a virus and their itunes wont open. There is a loophole to this. You just go to Resident Shield and manage exceptions and choose the place your itunes is installed. But i uninstalled Itunes. What do i do?
Trojan horse small.bog!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AVG!!?
Yesterday I installed the new Itunes 8.2. Today my virus protection (AVG free) says i have a Trojan Horse Small.BOG in Itunes resources/itunes.dll. I dont know why this happened, and nothing is spreading into any other files or programs. Help ?!?
AVG free Trojan Horse Small.BOG?
When I tried to open iTunes just now, a message box popped up that said I needed to reinstall it and that some required files were missing. Then, about 2 seconds later, another message box, this time from AVG Antivirus Free popped up, and said iTunes was infected with a "trojan horse small.bog".
1. What's going on?
2. How do I fix this?
3. Will my iTunes library still be safe (songs, videos, apps, personal and credit card info, etc.)?
4. Is it safe to plug in my iPod touch to charge?
Any information will be helpful. Thanks!Alright people i've figured it out=====
Here's how I did it (Microsoft Vista OS and AVG Free)---------
1. Open AVG Free
2.Click "Tools" at the top, scroll down to "Advanced Settings"
3. Under the "Resident Shield" directory, (expand it if not already), click "Exceptions".
4. When the menu pops up, click "Add Path" at the upper right.
5. When the window pops up, click these folders in this order-
COMPUTER>HARD DRIVE or C folder>PROGRAM FILES(x86)>ITUNES
When you click on the iTunes folder, make sure you don't click the arrow, but click on the folder itself.
6. Hit okay and save your settings, click apply and exit AVG. When you look at the exceptions on AVG, the itunes directory should look like this C:\Program Files\iTunes\
7. Restart your computer.
8. When you turn it back on, open iTunes, it should go through a little setup process, then iTunes should work.
-------------------IF ITUNES STILL DOESN'T WORK, TRY MAKING ANOTHER DIRECTORY UNDER PROGRAM FILES(NOT X86)
trojan horse small.bog when I open iTunes?
Alright,
So I was watching TV, and my younger brother calls me to the computer about an hour ago to check out some kind of threat AVG detected.
At that time, it had only found 2 of the infections (Trojan horse Small.BOG).
Using AVG, I moved the infections to the Virus Vault and then proceeded to delete them. I did successfuly.
However, I am doing a system scan right now using AVG Free, and AVG found 196 Trojan horse Small.BOG's. In fact, the scan is still running as I write.
All the infections are linked to iTunes. Most all the files end in .dll .msi, or .qtr with one .cab.
Since every file is an iTunes file, I beleive that AVG is misdiagnosing these threats, but neither AVG nor iTunes have updated in the past 24 hours.
I googled "Trojan horse Small.BOG" but I got nothing useful. I'm convinced that it is a misdiagnosis, but I'm not going to go ahead and uninstall iTunes, or AVG Free.
Anyone with any information or anything, post here, start up a discussion and grab 2 points while you're at it.
Help is much appreciated.
Cheers
