This is a Hoax. The file with the Teddy Bear is a file which is on every
windows computer, it helps run programmes which use Java. If you delete it your
computer may not work properly.
Do NOT pass this message on to anybody in your address book, doing so only
extends the hoax.
Do NOT delete the file.
If you have a message saying that a virus is not detected by the major
antivirus systems, you can guarantee that it is a hoax. If a virus that is not
detectable by these systems is ever created (which is highly unlikely) THEY will
let you know; there will NEVER be any need for you to let people in your address
book know.
Please do not send messages about Computer Viruses to any Rootsweb List. Viri
cannot be passed through Rootsweb list mail, but hoaxes, such as this one,
which persuade you to ruin your own computer can!
If you have a concern about a possible virus threat send details to the list
administrator. All Rootsweb list administrators can be contacted using the
template address LISTNAME-admin(a)Rootsweb.com (Change LISTNAME for the list's name
eg WLS-MERIONETHSHIRE-admin(a)Rootsweb.com WLS-GWYNEDD-admin(a)rootsweb.com
etc). All Rootsweb list administrators will keep their lists updated about any
genuine list-related virus threats.
