>From what I hear (as in unsubstantiated rumor), what this is is not a virus, but
sort of a hoax. It's clever, too. That file you are looking for is SUPPOSED to
be there. The pranksters are trying to get people to delete a normal file. Don't
assume that just because you do indeed see a file, that it means the virus is
real.
Now, I am no expert, but until you find out different, I wouldn't delete
that file. Go to a site that documents viruses and see if it is real. Jim
