AVG anti-virus false positive

By David Canton

ADVERTISEMENTS

Slashdot and other sources are reporting that an update to the popular AVG anti-virus product labels a critical file in Windows XP - user32.dll - as a virus that needs to be removed.  If you do that, it cripples the computer.

AVG has posted a fix, and I’m sure will offer an update to correct the issue.  In the meantime, don’t delete that file if AVG says it is a virus.

I was paranoid for a few minutes thinking that perhaps the story was a ruse by virus writers so people wouldn’t delte their virus, but note this wikipedia entry, and this entry on the AVG site.
