on the contrary, this virus hoax was talking about a file that was NOT sent
with a message, but instead a file that computers ALREADY had on them that is
apparently vital for the operation of windows 98, and trying to make it SOUND
like one that was sent maliciously. the promulgators of this hoax have done
a very crafty trick, turning this around to make it SOUND like they are
trying to protect you by telling you to delete this file; the opposite is
apparently true.
