Feel I should let you folks know that this is just another virus hoax. Don't remove the file - it is supposed to be there. If you will check any of the hoax sites on the internet, you will find that this has been around for quite a while. Would give you the URL, but don't have time to look it up right now as I am about to leave for an appt. But believe me -- THIS IS A HOAX!
