Ok thanks Duck, You never know though, Just passing on the word, would hate someone to loose there system

Thanks for letting us know GalvestonDuck. Repeating... it is a hoax. I got a hoax email last fall claiming that if you found a purple teddy bear in one of your files that you had to delete it or you would have a virus. It turns out that the teddy bear actually runs some java functions so I screwed up my computer. I always use snopes.com to avoid confusion.
