which was a viruses.come to find out the the file with the bears icon
are old window files.so i delete them. the compute is still running

Fortunately, as hoaxes go, the effect of this one is very mild.
Yes, it was a Windows file and no, it shouldn't have been
deleted. But the file is the Java debug manager, needed only by
Java programmers. Since you're obviously not a Java programmer
(if you were, you would have known not to delete it), there's no
real harm been done. You don't need the file, and although it's
easy enough to get back, you don't need to bother.
Next time, don't be ready to believe E-mail messages about
viruses, even if sent by your closest friends. Most of them are
hoaxes, spread by unwitting dupes of the hoaxsters.
