Like the SULFNBK.EXE hoax, this bogus virus warning (also known as the "Bear Virus") attempts to lure gullible users into deleting perfectly innocuous, standard Windows files from their systems. jdbgmgr.exe virus (Not to be confused with the Honor System virus...) A hysterical urban legend -- nearly identical to the sulfnbk.exe mass hysteria of 2001. The JDBGMGR.EXE file is a legit Windows operating system file, just like sulfnbk.exe. Some rules of thumb: if you merely find JDBGMGR.EXE on your computer, then it's probably not infected; but if you receive JDBGMGR.EXE as an email attachment, then it probably is infected. This urban legend started in early April 2002 among Spanish-speaking computer users. The hysteria spilled over to the English-speaking community by mid-April 2002. Well-meaning users fall prey to False Authority Syndrome when they use their eyeballs to "detect" viruses. Vmyths surmises a clueless, well-meaning user (not a hoaxster) adapted an old sulfnbk.exe alert by simply changing one instruction to look for JDBGMGR.EXE. All is not lost if you got duped and you self-damaged your PC. See the related links (below) for instructions to replace the file you deleted.
