AVG Antivirus Accidentally Kills Windows

Saw this on OSNews.Com. Users of AVG Anti-Virus beware:

Dutch, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish users of the popular anti-virus software AVG have discovered a nasty surprise. AVG has mistakenly identified a core Windows system file, user32.dll, as a Trojan, and summarily deletes it, b0rking Windows. AVG has announced they're working on a fix.
Interestingly, I cannot find this on AVG's website, neither in the News or Updates section. So judge for yourself.

Ejscript Embedded Javascript Language

Javascript, also known as ECMAScript, is the world's primary programming language for web sites and applications. The Internet "breathes" Javascript and with Ejscript, it can now be set free to become a language that exceptionally is well suited to embedded and web applications outside a browser.

Ejscript™ is a compact, fast and powerful implementation of Javascript. Use it in applications, devices, server side web scripting, or anything outside the browser that your imagination can dream up.

With classes, interfaces, optional strong typing, type checking, namespaces, modules, getters, setters, iterators and a rich system library -- Ejscript is the ideal language for a host of embedded applications.
