Following on from my e-mail earlier today, please note this is in fact a
hoax virus and not a genuine one. The file is a part of Windows which runs
some form of Java program I am led to believe. I apologise that our IT
department did not pick up on the fact this was a hoax - it had already been
raised with them, but I was not told this was the case, and did in fact
delete the file according to their instructions. Many thanks to all those
who did inform me it was a hoax, and apologies again for the misinformation.
It may be that one or two of you have deleted the file. If you have please
let me know and I can email the file to reinstall on your PC (it is only a
small 15kb file).
thanks
David
