Ann and all.
This is a hoax and can be verified by your IT pros. I did the same
thing. Do not remove the teddy bear. It is supposed to be there and is
actually an extension used by your computer. If you have already
removed it and are not a programmer, do not worry. You would not have
likely used it anyway.
I got caught too!
