When I try to delete the Symantec fxBgbear removal tool
from my desktop, I get a prompt that tells me fxBgbear is
a program (MSDOS - BGBEAR.EXE) and by deleting it I will
no longer be able to edit some documents. Does this mean
it will compromise/damage the Microsoft Word program? What
could happen if I delete it? Thanks,

John

It's a Removal Tool, for chrissakes, not an AV app. OP asked, I answered.

No, I meant... oh, never mind, then! (But I thought you Bears stuck
together.)
