And, at the risk of being slammed by the entire list I would like to point all to a website that keeps very good track of these types of things: http://www.truthorfiction.com Next time you get a chain letter or virus warning check it at this website. Hopes this helps someone in the future.

It's a legitimate file according to the Symantec website and everybody that has a Windows version will find it listed. I believe I read on the Symantec site that this same "virus hoax" has circulated before. Anytime you receive a message like this particular alert, you should check it out before going to the trouble to remove something based on heresay. Just type the word "symantec" into your browser's URL and you'll find the info you're looking for.
