[Genteman Discuss] URGENT

This is a hoax. It is an attempt to get you to delete a perfectly

innocent

file that is part of a standard Windows application. If you have

already

deleted it, I wouldn't worry; I believe it is used mostly by

programmers. You

can find all the details on the Snopes.com website. It is a good

place to

check out any suspicious emails you receive.
