hey, so i went to my inbox this morning to find an email from a friend sayin i had to delete this file SRAIGHT AWAY, to save my computer.
WELL DONT!
me being the untrusting type i decided to look this file up and its just the harmless Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java.
it is a hoax!

if ya dont beleive me or want to know more these sites are quite helpful...
symantec
f-secure.com

if your deadass lazy then heres two extracts from some other sites:

'If you did fall victim to the hoax, you likely will not experience any ill effects as a result of the deleted file. However, you might not be as lucky when the next hoax rolls around, so be sure to check the facts before acting on unsolicited advice and warnings received via email.'

'It is possible that you may receive a hoax via email with a file attached. Obviously, such file attachments should be treated with caution as they may be virus infected. Sophos recommends deleting virus hoax emails, whether they contain file attachments or not.'

Is that one still doin the rounds? Crikey!!

Jus as a rule of thumb - virus warnings are NEVER emailed! They are always hoaxes - the clues are:

Poor spelling or grammar
References to other sources (usu IBM, Microsoft, Symantec etc etc...)
Warnings to delete files that are "not detected" by virus scanners
And the killer - PASS IT ON!!!

Please, nobody ever email me a virus warning, cos I only reply with "Get a feckin grip!!!"

yeah it is, i just thought id say about it.....
