"The installed location of iTunes may have been corrupted or compromised and therefore being treated as insecure to run.

This issue may occur if there is a Group Policy object (GPO) that restricts what programs you can run. Programs can be restricted if either of the following policies in the domain organizational unit group policy or a local computer group policy have been applied:

Do not run specified Windows applications.
Run only the allowed Windows applications.

If you are an administrator, you can verify the policies that are enabled. To do this, click User Configuration, click Administrative Templates, and then click System.

If you're running a home edition of Windows 7 and don't have the group policy console, it appears that the settings map to:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\DisallowRun
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\DisallowRun
