The information below was taken from a site where you can download this file. It seems to be a server dll file, so I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. And it can't be "uploaded" to your computer unless it's embedded into a website you visited, or through an email you opened. When you open an email, watch the light on your hard-drive...if it's blinking after the email is open, it means somethings happening in the background. Or you could get a virus program that scans all emails before opening. NEVER open one that has an attachment and you don't know who it's from.
So don't worry....they're just words to scare you.

No but if I were you I would run your Norton, McAfee, or Equivalent scan now while you surf. Then Go to Lavasoft and download their Ad-Aware SE personal for free and download and run a full sys scan with that.
This IS Yahoo the 2nd largest search engine in the world and the world is in here poking around. So be careful what you say and do to people here! I don't want to hear you were a victim of a Drive-by killing of your computer!

I don't think he has sent you a virus, unless there is an attached file with the e-mail he sent you and you opened it.
What he is probably trying to do is make you delete a critical file that windows needs so you will have problems with windows or what i like to call it Winblows. So don't start deleting stuff, just update your anti-virus programs and do a scan.

He's lying.
I looked up the file and it's just a Windows file for Servers. There's a bunch of places charging to buy the file and some other ones giving it away for free. Hardly a virus.

yes someone else experienced it a couple days ago. Not sure if the person was the same. Try reporting them to Yahoo! Mail as well as yahoo! answers.

I thought you were talking about a demon or something. But no, I haven't been threatened in anyway by anyone.

No, and I don't think he has.
Just report him.
