I've had the same thing as this happen to me twice. It's a hoax. You can't just delete a virus from your computer. Unfortunately, the first time it happened, I was told to go into the 'regedit' folder and delete a file, which I was told later I shouldn't have done as it was a necessary file, and subsequently I had to re-install Windows. It's just another hoax.
