(*Everyone spells it differently, but a > computer salesman dictated "Mc-Affey" to me.) DO NOT remove this "virus". It is NOT a virus, but rather a file necessary to the function of Windows. Removing it may disable your computer. The creator of this hoax is getting his/her jollies this way instead of writing a *real* virus. DO NOT follow "advice" such as this until you have checked it out with a reliable source (like the Symantec or McAfee sites). Best, Bob ********************************************** Robert A.
