    2. OH NO! The directions below is the virus. No kidding. DO NOT DELETE THAT FILE. I fell for this last year myself. Go here and it will explain and tell you how to reinstall that file: <A HREF="http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html"> http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax. html</A> Or go to MSN.com and search "teddy bear" It's no big deal if you did delete that file. Don't panic. It's meant more as a hoax than a virus that will spread.

    3. Don't delete that file... JDBGMGR.EXE is the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java. Another location to read about these HOAX's is McAfee.com. -----Original Message----- From: KAD4918@aol.com [mailto:KAD4918@aol.com] Sent: Sunday, December 15, 2002 8:29 PM To: SCMARLBO-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [SCMARLBO-L] OH NO!
