    Reminds me of when Norton AV deleted an infected file on a PC i was working on, but failed to delete the registry reference to it.
    The virus needed to run in order for windows explorer to start, so with it gone... No windows. Had to use a few "techniques" to access the registry and delete the file reference.

    Another reason I don't use AV.
