Before deleting any files, make sure that this is a valid message and not a hoax. I have heard of instructions like this that delete critically important files. The best way to avoid a virus is to use good anti virus software and keep it up to date. John Mills ABN wrote: > > I did have this in my C drive so follow the directions.

This is a hoax. Please read: http://antivirus.about.com/library/weekly/aa050702a.htm. Never send a warning about a virus unless you have researched the information on www.mcafee.com or http://urbanlegends.about.com/cs/virushoaxes1/index.htm.
