NO NO NO!!! This is a huge hoax. I
recommend you restore your file ASAP, as deleting it is what can cause the
problem. These types of virus warnings are almost always hoaxes.
Check with your virus protection provider for further information before you
follow any instructions included with *warnings* such as this one.
