    Just a note for the people who use AVG or NOD32 in combination with XP SP2 on their One or main machine:

    Last sunday AVG made a tiny little oopsie when releasing their virus definitions - resulting in their (and NODs) scanner reporting the file user32.dll to be infected with a trojan. This is a false alert. In addition, user32,dll is rather essential to the functioning of windows. Removing tends to make it unbootable.. so don't do that ;)

    If you already did - an external cd drive with XP cd is probably the easiest solution. Boot from it and fix the system.
