This is DEFINITELY A HOAX!!! This is designed to get people to delete a REGULAR WINDOWS FILE that can mess up certain systems!!! If you have already deleted the file, you can go to: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q322993 to see if your system is one that requires the file, and if so, it will tell you how to restore the file. ALWAYS CHECK your antivirus software's hoax section if your antivirus didn't detect a virus, before you follow any instructions to delete files, or pass along a warning!! GOOD LUCK!! Joan
