As anyone with much experience with Microsoft’s Windows operating system can tell you the user32.dll is sort of critical to the function of Windows as a whole. Unfortunately, an update to the AVG anti-virus on November 9th contained an incorrect virus signature which led it to see user32.dll as a containing the Trojan Horses PSW.Banker4.APSA or Generic9TBN.
After giving a warning, the program recommended users delete user32.dll. So, now many have been advised, are trying, to recover the file through the Windows Recovery Console. AVG 7.5 and 8.0 were both affected by this update.
To any of our readers who use AVG, we’re hoping you can get yourself back up and running. Alternatives to AVG are also available, like avast! and ClamWin, a Windows port of the Linux anti-virus Clam.
