FINALLY A FIX FOR iPODS NOT RECOGNIZED BY iTUNES

Question

Important Note: This fix is only for people whose device manager is blank. Also, Windows explorer (my computer) must recognize you iPod, but iTunes does not.
Alas, my friends, it is done. No thanks to Apple for solving this problem. After a full month of tring to fix this problem, I can now trace it back to a dangerous spyware program: Apropos
I had no clue it was on my computer, and it is therefore the reason that my iTunes was working perfectly until one fateful day. Almost no spyware programs such as Search and Destory can detect it, and it does more than hide ur device manager. It slows down your computer greatly, and often disables LAN.
The fix is simple: http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/aproposfix.exe
Go there and follow these steps:
Step 1.
=====
Download these files to remove Apropos to your Desktop.

Step 2.
=====
Restart your computer and enter Safe Mode by pressing F8 on the keyboard repeatedly AFTER your BIOS loads and BEFORE Windows starts to load.
Step 3.
=====
Log into the account where the files you downloaded are on the Desktop. It should be an account with Administor privledges.
Step 4.
=====
//For AproposFix.exe:
Double click on AproposFix.exe and extract the files to your Desktop. Open that folder and double click on Run This.bat and follow the instructions. Restart the computer once you are prompted.
After that, your iPod should show up in iTunes ( this fix is for people whose iPod does not show up in device manager).
The culprit: An undetectable and notorious spyware program:
***Apropos***
