Indeed. Many people use iTunes regularly. They aren't the ones trolling
this news group about it being malware or an infestation. Notice that
the folks complaining here about iTunes being malware adamantly say they
refuse to use iTunes. They don't use it, but expect the rest of the
world to believe they are magically authorities on the subject. ; )

He's trolling hard. Those of us who have used iTunes on Windows know the
components in the list are easily removed with a trip to Control Panel >
Add/Remove Programs.
