F-Secure's page for the hoax is at http://www.datafellows.com/hoaxes/jdbgmgr.shtml . Symantec is at http://www.symantec.com . Symantec's page for the hoax is at http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/ jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html . Reported by Newsbytes.com, http://www.newsbytes.com . A virus warning is making the rounds urging people to search for a purported virus on their hard drives - a file named JDBGMGR.EXE. Chances are, they will find it, because the "warning" is a hoax. According to several anti-virus companies, the hoax first appeared in April, but two new variants of the message have been spotted in the last three days. Peace and blessings.
