To All,
     I've noticed over the past few months the number of virus hoaxes where people are told to delete a particular file. Later this file is discovered to be a vital part of 
windows, or a vital part of some subroutine of windows. The pattern has become clear: Hackers are having a lot of fun convincing, and conning, windows users into 
rendering their operating systems useless. It makes their "work" easier.
     My suggestion, for what is worth: Though it is a bit time consuming, become familar with you operating systems files.
     Sincerely,
     Paul Lockwood
