You are correct. I just received other emails that confirm this was a HOAX.Thankyou for informing me Steve. It would have directed you to unnnecessarily delete a file, usually naturally in your computer, and likely not usually used, I think. Again my apologies to all.

Your attachment didn't come through, but everyone should be aware that there are a lot of hoax virus warnings these days. If you have up-to-date virus software, and it didn't alert you, it's likely that it's a hoax.
One of the most recent tells you to delete the file Jdbgmgr.exe. This is a harmless file, used by Java developers.
You can check these out at the Symantec web site,
