This is a HOAX! It circulated last year. DO NOT DELETE THIS FILE! It is a java debugging manager or something and is a legit file for your computer. Do a search for computer virus hoaxes --here is an article about it.... http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/cgi-bin/mfs/www/hoaxbusters/archive?ink=http://h oaxbusters.ciac.org/HBMalCode.shtml&file=/www/hoaxbusters/HBMalCode.shtml&li ne=1600#mfs The Jdbgmgr Hoax April 2002 The jdbgmgr hoax is almost the same as the sulfnbk hoax in that it tells you to delete a program that was installed with Windows. jdbmgr.exe is the Java Debugger Manager and does have an icon that looks like a Teddy Bear. It is not, normally, a virus. As with all executables, it is not impossible to have a copy of jdbmgr.exe that is infected by a virus but that virus will be detected by your antivirus software. Microsoft has posted the article Q322993 with information on how to replace jdbgmgr.exe if you have deleted it. Subject: IMPORTANT-VIRUS ALERT!!! Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2002 04:01:21 +0000 Hi everybody, I just wanted to let you know you should check your computers by following the procedure that's next....I don't remember getting an email with that file attachment, but I found it in my system. Since I found the dumb little bear in my computer, I'm sending you the info. The virus is called jdbgmgr.exe and it transfers automatically through Messenger and also through your address book and since I have all of you in my address book I have to send everyone this info. I'm sorry if this causes any problems. It certainly wasn't intentional. The virus isn't detected by McAfee or Norton and it remains in the folder for 14 days before activating and harming the system. It can be erased before it eliminates the files in your computer. To do so, follow these steps: 1.- Click on "Start" 2.- Go to find "files and folders" and write the name of jdbgmgr.exe 3.- Make sure it's looking in "C" drive. 4.- Click on "Find now" 5.- If the virus appears (the icon is a little bear that has the name of (jdbgmgr.exe) DO NOT OPEN IT FOR ANY REASON 6.- Right click on it and delete it (it will go to the recycle bin) 7.- Go to the recycle bin and either delete everything in the folder, or right click on the little bear and delete. If you find this virus in your computer, please send this message to all the people in your address book before it causes any damage.
