Hi all,
I just had the weirdest thing happen. I launched iTunes on my
Pismo running 10.3.9, and it opened just fine, and since it was
recently updated, it put up the iTunes Personal Music Store
information. Also, the status bar at the top said "downloading
virus" and gave me a download progress bar. I was too afraid to
let it continue, and hit the x to stop the download. It appeared
to stop downloading.
Anyone else have this happen? What's going on? I haven't seen
anything online about this.
Never seen nor heard of this.
Would you possibly have someone with Mac programming chops, and
access to your Powerbook? It's easy to get in and change "Accessing
Music Store" to "Downloading Virus..." as a practical joke.
All it takes is editing the /Applications/iTunes.app/Content/
Resources/English.lprog/Localizable.strings file in TextEdit.
Or perhaps you triggered some "not to be seen by the public"
debugging code on the iTMS site. (Trust me programmers do worse...)
I doubt it was really a virus, they tend not to announce themselves
in that fashion.
