Yes definitely. That's why use iTunes. Yeah, you have to pay but it saves you 2,000 bucks by not having to buy a new computer.

YES!!! I downloaded an mp3 once and it hid itself on the pc so well that I had to have it reformatted by a tech because I waited too long to take care of it. If you think you have one you need to reboot into safe mode, delete all restore points and then run your virus software. The only other way that I know to get rid of a virus is manually look for the file. This takes forever, if you do it this way it looks through the whole pc and will delete all virus'. IF you do it in regular mode without having deleted previous restore points, the virus may hide in the restore files and damage your pc from there. In regular mode your virus software will not check the retore point files. Hope this helps, explained it the best I could.

RUN YOUR ANTI VIRUS IF YOU HAVE, ITS THE BEST SOLUTION.
