WHY AFTER USING ITUNES MY SONS GAME WILL NOT WORK? IS IT A VIRUS?

Oldest son used Itunes this a.m. and afterwards other son's World of Warcraft wouldn't launch....says not enough disc space to execute program. However, there is plenty of disc space, on about 1/4 of space is used.

What I've tried:

defragmented registry

ran spybot

ran virus scan

ran registry scan

I uninstalled Itunes,

tried to make system restore restore the computer back to yesterday when it was working fine but it keeps giving me today as the restore point...even when I create my own.

Can anyone give me any hints as to how to what could be the cause? Can you tell me how to restore and make it really restore?

PLEASE HELP!

    What did he use it for?  If he downloaded music or something, then that will have used up some hard drive space.  This apparently has left too little for WoW to run. 

    Best advice?  Buy another hard drive, install it in the computer, and move large media files to it.

    Try restarting the computer and see if it loads fine then? If it does then maybe the iTunes is hanging onto, and eating up, RAM or something (not a computer expert) instead of fully closing and freeing it up again so other things have it all available to use. "Memory leak" I think it might be called?

    If I had to guess, I would say WoW is trying to install an update and you don't have the permissions for it. Right click the world of Warcraft launcher and click "run as administrator".
