I am just making sure, what it is?
Before I actually delete this file, anyone has anymore ideas or did get anything like I did?

Thanks.
 
LMAO - only because I remember this from what seems like ages ago!

Look here

BTW - if ya deleted the file - there is a link at the bottom of the above page that tells ya how to get it back.

Just for info - in case some do not know - this link is very useful
Look at this link

I have it as one of my Favorites;)
 
First time I've heard of this 1
Never noticed that icon before either
not heard of this scam since
the SULFNBX.EXE hoax

;-)
 
2Z's - yup - my bad - it was the SULFNBX.EXE hoax I was thinking of - I went back and checked on Symnatec and this one has only been around since April of this year!

But it is a cute Teddy Bear!;)
 
Yeah it is cute
:D

uh...I did a search for this file and didn't find it...

btw...i havn't deleted it
 
When you search use the advanced options to include
System folders, hidden files & Sub folders

;-)
 
Why do people not get it? Other people, and especially virusscanner companies, DO NOT send out messages about virusses. In fact all the companies say is to get an update for their virusscanner.

And when a friend sends you this as a reply, just delete it and tell the friend he's helping this hoax get around he world. Just look it up on the internet on mcafee.com or norton.com

As a side note;
The guys who make these hoaxes are just waiting to get their own email back in their email box. I even got a message that was signed by "M. van Dalen" When you think about this AND you are Dutch (quite a combination huh?) it may refer to a popular arithmetical mnemonic that means "Mister van Dalen waits for answer" (In Dutch of course)
 
Well...
Thank you guys for your post and your comments...
I wasn't sure about the email... cause what the pervious person just said... it did sound funny... and I didn't think virus companies would email some stuff like that...

Thanks... :)
 
lol a friend got that email ages ago he was all in a panic and called me up all scared sayin since he has me in his address book i probably got it too.. lol

so i did the search and since java was installed ofcourse i found the file so i just went and right clicked it and checked properties lol look its the java debuger made by microsoft called my friend back and was like hey you dumbass it aint no virus...was 2 late he deleted it lol and i showed him the report about it i found like a week later he was all pissed that he fell for it lol
and he said he believed it because it came from a person he respected lol damn Hoax was worse then and email virus mass sent i bet more ppl deleted thier file than didnt lol

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
