AVG Virus Scanner Deletes Critical Windows File

If you are a user of AVG’s virus scanning program running Windows XP, make sure you read this. The program is flagging an essential Windows system file as a virus and telling people to delete it. Once deleted, your system will go into a continuous reboot cycle or no longer boot.

An update for the AVG virus scanner released yesterday contained an incorrect virus signature, which led it to think user32.dll contained the Trojan Horses PSW.Banker4.APSA or Generic9TBN. AVG then recommended deleting this file; this causes the affected systems to either stop booting or go into a continuous reboot cycle. So far, the problem only appears to affect Windows XP, but there is no guarantee that other versions of Windows don’t have the same issue.

more on the issue can be found here as well as the avg fix tool (supposedly)
