I received the following E-mail from a friend. I actually did what it say's in the e-mail up to the point where it say's to delete the file, luckily at this point I went and did a little research before deleting the file and found out it was a Hoax. I added a link at the bottom that explains the Hoax and also tells you how to reclaim the file if you deleted it!
