An extensive thread in the Apple discussion forums shows that AVG is giving a false positive: there's no risk of trojans in iTunes, and quarantining the files will break your iTunes install. You can disable the alerts by creating an exception in AVG:

1. Open AVG

2. Go to Resident Shield -> Manage Exceptions -> Add Path

3. Add C:Program FilesiTunes and C:Program FilesiPod
