that file is a java editor i believe its for java script work, but very indepth work, if you delete it and dont work with any of these programs you dont even have to worry about it. its a complete hoax, nothing to worry about if you delete it or not.

Usually any email that tells you to delete a file is a hoax or worse something started by some one malicious out to get gullible people.

If you don't have a virus scanner and would like to see if you have a virus or trojen go to http://housecall.antivirus.com it's an awesome free online virus checker, how ever it doesn't replace one on your computer full time, it's good to use as a suplimental check as no virus checker catches everything 100%.
