Hi List No, this virus alert is not genuine!!! I was caught out and deleted the file mentioned. only to find that it was part of my PC operating system, and facilitates the accessing of webpages. It is a sick hoax and has been going around for some time, causing no end of trouble. I paid £45 to a PC doctor to reinstall this file. Please ignore this despicable joke and hope you get this in time and that you haven not deleted the file in question.
