My iPod won't show up on my iTunes library HELP!!

[needconstanthelpPLZ]

Situation: I downloaded iTunes 6.0 on my computer last night and it worked fine. iTunes opens up perfectly without a problem and stores and plays songs as well. No problem at all.... except

Problem: When I plug in my 30 GB iPod, my computer notices it but it doesn't recognize it. Therefore, iTunes ignores my iPod as well. Last night it worked fine. When i plugged in my iPod, it showed up on the iTunes library and it worked just fine. This time though, my iPod won't show up anywhere!!! I've tried everything, from going on DEVICE MANAGEMENT to SERVICES on my computer. IT JUST WON'T WORK!!! My computer easily enables my iPod but it simply won't show up on iTunes where i really need it. ~Therefore not being able to put music in it.

Please, a favor: I need VERY specific instructions on how to fix this and not let it affect my computer negatively. Please if there is a computer genious out there, I'm in need of your rescuing!

Tell me two things.

1) Are you able to play music on your ipod?
2) When you plug-in the ipod to yor computer does any symbol like this one appear on your computer?

There are lots of errors regarding the topic you posted my friends.
This is a trojan horse. Not a virus but a little bug that will block the existence of anything you plug in the usb port. Search for a KAIZER KILLER and try to run it if KAIZER KILLER runs smoothly try to plug your iPod again but if KAIZER KILLER forces your computer to restart it means that the bug is spreading already.

WHEN IT SPREADS
Anything plugged in the usb port will force your operating system to malfunction. It will even prevent you from accessing files using MY COMPUTER.

WHEN DONE SPREADING
Try to do system restore and restore your computer to much older days.

Provide us some updates reagrding this problem.
