Dear All,

I followed the direction below and eradicated the virus easily. I found it on my PC make sure you check yours! the teddy is very cute but he must go in the trash can!!!

Got this in email - and found the file - indeed a teddy bear icon - it describes itself as a Microsoft file, a Java Script Debugger!!! Is this a kosher file or a kosher virus?
