Did you update your free copy of AVG 2011 today, in the hopes of evading a nasty bug? In a set of
mildly familiar circumstances, the antivirus company has inadvertently unleashed an even nastier one.

The buggy update has since been pulled and there are a couple ways to preemptively keep it from happening if you're staring at the message above, but if you've already been stung, you're looking at some quality time with a recovery disc or repair partition to fix your Windows boot files. Find all the solutions, including the preemptive ones, at our source link below.
