Help with iTunes/Windows issue?

Itunes is malware, IMHO.

Yeah. Can’t do much, though. :/

Uninstall iTunes, restart the pc then download a new copy and install. We get calls on this on occasion at work. See list of programs below you have to uninstall.

iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later). On some systems, iTunes might install two versions of Apple Application Support. This is expected. If both are present, be sure to uninstall both versions.

Don’t uninstall these components in a different order, or only uninstall some of them. Doing so might have unintended effects.

No dice. Still cannot connect to the internet and it won’t recognize my phone. Thank you, anyways.
