cool, Jonny. I feel so protected now.
nope, my neighbour sent me that email and he did actually delete his file as that mail instructs. me, i'm just very suspicious by nature (I'm sure THAT comes as huge news to this crowd!), and I checked it out on McAffee's site before i did the same thing, considering that the file is located in the Windows system folder.
i's just watchin out for my clusterkids.

That wasnt the joke about choppin wood ya sent me today was it? LMAO the one you couldnt remember 6 minutes after you sent it...? One of my friends thought they had that too when they got an email like that and deleted their whole damn system ... Rule of thumb with virus' you shouldnt ever touch anything in the SYSTEM folder and also... dont open anything from anyone that isnt a jpeg or a bitmap... especially an exe...you shoulda seen the mess I cleaned up on my friends system... made me laugh... she had 125 virus' some were the same one over and over and over~~~~~~~ sux... alot. thanks Margi... are we supposed to call you Clustermom now...LOL at least your not the NANA...
