Recently an update for the AVG 8 antivirus software for Windows XP, Vista, and 2000 has caused the System files to be deleted in the above Operating systems.
The update warned that the user32.dll system file was a Trojan Horse and caused the deletion of the same.
The problem has affected the Dutch, French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish versions of the AVG Antivirus.
As soon as the system file was deleted it caused the Windows OS to reboot endlessly or not reboot at all.
The Fix for the problem is to disable the AVG Antivirus and then replace the user32.dll file from the Windows installation CD. But this works only if the PC is not rebooted after the file been deleted.
The company has also reported that the Updates on the AVG 7.5 and AVG 8 version both have the same problem for certain language packages.
However this issue might be resolved soon but what i believe is that the main issue is with Windows itself and for us to have hassle free computing experience more and more people should move to Linux.
