MalwareByte Scan Report

IFEO's, which is what this is, aren't always bad. In fact what triggered this is fairly commonplace in both good and bad apps.

In this particular case if itunes is working properly I wouldn't be too worried about it.

Of course I ignored it but why is an iTunes Registry entry being identified as a malicious item

Because many malware use this as a loop hole to launch themselves at startup. Its just a general mechanism of redirecting what application gets launched, so, lets take notepad.exe for example. I can make a key named notepad.exe but have it pointed to badapp.exe . Now everytime you try to launch notepad, instead of it, that badapp.exe will open.

But in this case, if this is the only thing your getting from the scan, then its most likely just a false positive.

You can do an online scan with Eset or Kaspersky if you want also if you've any doubts..

kind of hard to explain to someone really.
It would help if you googled the right acronym though.
