Adam, You should always treat this type of virus as suspect. I suggest you place your trust with the major virus detectors.
This type of "virus" in all probability is a needed file that you have been instructed to delete, and one that you will be adding back to your computer in short order. Ask yourself "Did this virus do damage to my computer? Or did I "find" it based on the instructions provided"? Of course you dare not wait the 14 days . . . that's the "hook" in the scare. A similar "virus scare" came out about 6 months ago.
