I am always on the lookout for hoaxes but got caught by this one as I
didn't think even Microsoft would have an icon that looked like a
teddybear (although my daughter says it looks more like a dog's face).
Fortunately soon after deleting it I had second thoughts and checked out
the following website (something I should have done before my rash
action. Most people will have that file on their computer if they are
using Windows and I was able to copy the file from my daughter's machine
and so restore it on my own.
