FYI re the 'teddy bear' hoax, in case you haven't figured it out,

Hi..DO NOT DELETE THAT FILE J

You'll find it every time you look for it.it's part of the operating system.

This is a hoax that makes its way around every few months or so in one form or another.here's the McAfee sites specifics (link below), but you may want to tell whomever sent the "warning" that the only "virus" being spread is the fact that he's getting folks to delete part of their O/S J
