iTunes Trojan horse small.bog virus

I was relieved when I read this at Mashable.
AVG, one of the most popular anti-virus programs, is causing confusion today by wrongly identifying iTunes files as trojans. After updating its virus definitions, the anti-virus software finds up to 181 “viruses” in iTunes: attempting to quarantine the files prevents iTunes from working. The supposed virus name is “trojan horse small.bog”.
Read more about the "iTunes trojan Small.BOG" at the discussion thread at Apple.
