Someone send me an email today about some Teddy Bear Virus.
It tells you to do a search on your computer for a file if it is there delete
it.

Dont delete it!

That file is part of your windows operating system. I asked AOL and they say
it is a hoax. I almost did it.
I do not normally send stuff like this but this one is almost believable.

One reason that one is so believable is that there *is* a teddy bear virus
out there. I forget what it's called. The file mentioned in this hoax
actually has an icon that looks like a teddy bear.

Yeah, Aol said it is called the Teddy Bear Virus. They said that the gray
teddy that is found on a computer is part of the windows operating system. I
have been told by AOL that the Teddy Bear Virus is a hoax. I had my three
gray teddy's ready to delete im glad I asked them I came soo close to pushing
that button. Fewh.....
