One minute after turning on my computer, I opened Internet Explorer & within 5 minutes, Spybot S&D notified me that ITunes.exe had changed my registry. Spybot asked if I wanted to deny the change. I clicked on "deny" but the message reappeared. I kept hitting "deny" & the msg. kept reappearing. I checked my System32 folder & there was the file, installed just 5 minutes earlier. It wouldn't allow me to delete it, so I restarted in safe mode & deleted it easily.

I'm almost positive I got this as a virus through an AIM link that claimed to be an ebaumsworld jpeg.

Apple does not need to have iTunes and it's other processing software load everytime with Windows. Plug -and-Play loads it just fine without it loading. This is spyware. And don't give your songs labels. That just helps them make more money without giving you anything for your trouble.
