Hi! I recently "was infected" by the Small.Bog virus with iTunes, and stupid me really thought it was a virus. I uninstalled iTunes, rebooted my computer, then downloaded a fresh copy from iTunes website and tried to install it. It wouldn't let me do it. This really had me freaked out. I left the downloaded copy on my desktop for a couple of days and thought I'd try it again. I did this morning, and it installed without a problem. So I just wanted to post this in case someone else had the same problem - go ahead and try reinstalling iTunes again. Perhaps it'll work the second time for you like it did for me.
At the same time that I had this problem with iTunes, however, the computer was acting strangely in another aspect - both problems started when I booted up my computer that morning, and at the time, I thought they were related. I did a Google search to see what kind of virus I had, and ended up on this site. Nothing that I have read suggests that anyone else is getting this glitch, which makes me think they just coincidentally started affecting me at the same exact time.
At the bottom of my screen across the taskbar, the programs that are open normally show up from left to right, in the order that they were opened, right? Well, now the programs that I have open are on the RIGHT side of the taskbar, and are squished into a very small section of the taskbar. I did a print screen and posted it below so you could see what I was talking about (I circled the area in red). When I open up three program, then a scroll bar appears next to the programs and I have to scroll through tiny icons to find the program that I want. Meanwhile, the rest of my task bar is empty and unused. Needless to say, I did not change any settings on my computer to make this happen - it was functioning normally when I turned it off at night, and then in the morning, it was doing this, plus it had the iTunes bug message.
Any ideas? I ran AVG (ha ha), SpyBot S&D, and Ad-Aware AE, and they all came up squeaky clean. Other than this problem, I am having zero problems with my computer.
I appreciate any suggestions or ideas you have for me. I would have googled this problem like I did the iTunes problem, but I had no idea what to search for.
