iPod Update problems in Windows

     So, you have an iPod, and you use Windows.  You are part of a very large community dabbling in crossing different OS's.  And now you've hit a snag.  You're trying to update your Apple technology with a Windows copy of iTunes, and you get a little error box that pops up and tells you there was a problem installing and your network has timed out.  You try the disgustingly large download again, and the same result.  What's wrong?  Don't worry, you're not the only one with this issue.
     This problem stems from Apple stalwartly believing that no one needs an anti-virus.  So, the quickest fix, at least if you are using Kaspersky, is to simply turn off your antivirus.  Then you run the update again and all should be well.  Hope things turn out alright.

  1. There are a number of installation processes for programs that conflict with many different computer security suites. Seems to me that companies like Symantec and Kaspersky are the culprits... hardly Apple choosing to screw you (although iTunes for Windows is known to have its problems :P).
