Problem with itunes.exe?

Title – itunes.exe

Description – The itunes.exe process is a component that belongs to a member of the Rbot worm family. This family of spyware worms uses commonly recognized names and words as executable file descriptions in order that users do not believe it to be a harmful process. Specifically, this family of worms consists of backdoor infections.

Worms are typically spread through email, messenger, or chat sessions and can be difficult to trace. If you regularly receive large amounts of spam emails then you are in a particularly high risk category and may have installed this process yourself inadvertently.

Backdoor infections literally open a backdoor to your system that can be accessed by other applications or third parties. Once access has been gained, hackers can access personal information, system settings, files and folders, and Internet browsing history. The theft of personal data in this way can be particularly damaging because hackers not only have potential access to banking and credit card details but also to any personally identifiable information on your PC.
