Jim,

Don't worry, that file is just a debugger for a old version of Java. You probably will never use it unless you write programs in the language Java. However, here is a link on how to restore that file. <A HREF=http://support.microsoft.com/default.as ... us;Q322993" TARGET="_BLANK">Restore File</A>

You can also read about this further here on the forum at this thread... http://steelguitarforum.com/Forum12/HTML/001008.html

Take Care,
Mark

Yeah,

The virus hoaxes are getting almost as bad as the virus' themselves.

Just for future reference though, you can always go to Norton's website and check a virus' authenticity before you start deleting stuff.

Microtrend has an free online virus scan on their site. Just for a little added peace of mind. Here's the URL for the free online scan. http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_corp.asp

Hope this helps.
