I think this is the hoax one that deletes your java debugger, im sure someone on here will tell you more.

I posted the same thing about 3 months ago.

 

I was a little suspect that a virus has its own file, 99.9% attach them selves to another file, and the fact that the person who suposidley made the virus took time to create an icon for it. :confused:

 

Never mind no real harm done.

Yep, another variation of the MS Java VM hoax, total load of crap.
