iTunes malware/virus? - Ballyboo - 08-18-2015

Hi I wondered if anyone had any problems with iTunes virus/malware? I had iTunes on my PC & when I opened it my hitman pro shut it down advising it had a virus. Brian do you know what to do about this? Thanks in advance :-)

Hi
I have been trying to download that Farbar tool for a couple of hours now but no luck, my computer system is 32 bit so I tried that instead but still no luck?
