Hello,



I am running Windows XP on my desktop. I have been using Itunes for years and it has worked fine till about two weeks ago. I had been having issues with my computer being very slow so I began using several freeware programs to clean up my computer. I used Repair Doctor, AVG PC Analyzer, PC Pitstop, Glary Utilities, and Advanced System Care. I discovered that ITunes was no longer usable after using AVG PC Analyzer. I have gone back and reversed all the changes that I made using PC Analyzer and have also used Windows System Restore to go back to a time previous to most of the clean up activities. I have uninstalled ITunes several times and then reinstalled using various combinations of installing ITunes and QuickTime. QuickTime is working fine, but ITunes is not working. I click on the ITunes icon and nothing happens. Any suggestions? Plz help.

Greatings!
It's your freeware programs that detected iTunes like a potentially dangerous program and add it to their unwanted programs that's why you can't open it. You need to add itunes.exe to exclusions unwanted programs from your freeware programs.

I had recently acquired and ran Advanced SystemCare PRO v3. I just took the program off my computer, rebooted and the problem was solved.
