Please respond to

Do not delete files just because someone is telling you to do so. Take a
look at a description of this "make people delete legitimate files on their
system"-hoax:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html
And please do not RUN any attachment because the mail tells you that this
will remove a virus. It will install one instead. I am getting quite a few
of these Klez worms daily.
Whenever you receive a mail looking either suspicious or promising (like
this one!-) in regards to virii trying to make you send the mail to others
or to run an attached program - dont. Better: search for any hints and
comments via groups.google.com.
