AVG virus definition update cripples Windows PC’s

A recent update in the virus definitions of AVG causes a critical file, user32.dll, to be detected as a virus. As a result, the affected computers running Windows XP keep rebooting right before the log-on screen appears.

AVG recommends affected users to boot into Safe Mode, restore the user32.dll file from the Windows CD, or from a website and temporarily remove AVG until an update addresses the issue.

iTunes 8 and iPhone 2.1 rumoured

If true, its another update for iPhone, I hope we get some improvements for the application backup procedure. As at the moment it takes ages!!! I think it should only backup the application data and not the actual application, we can download the app anytime we want, so no need backing up.

The update is meant to include new GPS-related functionality (iPhone 3G) for tracking speed and direction while excluding some features for developers. (oh and not forgetting iTunes 8 is getting an update is well.)
