I found this on a hoax security page.....http://www.f-secure.com/hoaxes/jdbgmgr.shtml Hoax Warnings NAME: jdbgmgr.exe virus hoax ALIAS: Teddy Bear hoax NOTE: On 21st of May 2002, a new virus using this hoax was found. The virus sends messages coming apparently from Symantec corporation and contains a warning on the JDBGMGR hoax - plus a virus attached to it. In April 2002 there appeared a hoax message concerning a new virus that was reportedly discovered in Windows utility JDBGMGR.EXE. The jdbgmgr is a standard windows component that is found in every windows installation, it is used as Java debugger manager in Microsoft Java runtime engine. We checked several versions of this utility from Windows installations and found nothing malicious in them. Please ignore this hoax or anything similar warning about jdbgmgr.exe and don't pass it on. -----Original Message----- From: Barbara Gallas [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 6:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: PLEASE CHECK FOR A VIRUS THAT I MAY HAVE SENT YOU Hi everyone.
