NAME: jdbgmgr.exe virus hoax
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.
If you have deleted JDBGMGR.EXE from your system, it can be restored by
installing updated version of Microsft Virtual Machine or Internet Explorer.
Please note that some e-mail worms (for example, Magistr) might sometimes
send an infected JDBGMGR.EXE in an e-mail attachment, but this infection is
caused by Magistr not JDBGMGR by itself. So the bottom line is, if you
receive JDBGMGR.EXE or any other windows component by email, it is most
probably a file infected by a virus. If you find JDBGMGR.EXE from your
system directory, it is most probably a clean file.
Here's the original hoax message:

folder and delete it from there, do not open.
If this exists, please let everyone know in
your address book.

I found the little bear in my machine because of that I am sending
this message in order for you to find it in your machine. The
procedure is very simple:
The objective of this e-mail is to warn all Hotmail users about a new
virus that is spreading by MSN Messenger. The name of this virus is
jdbgmgr.exe and it is sent automatically by the Messenger and by the
address book too. The virus is not detected by McAfee or Norton and
it stays quiet for 14 days before damaging the system.
The virus can be cleaned before it deletes the files from your system.
In order to eliminate it, it is just necessary to do the following
steps:
1. Go to Start, click "Search"
2.- In the "Files or Folders option" write the name jdbgmgr.exe
3.- Be sure that you are searching in the drive "C"
4.- Click "find now" 5.- If the virus is there (it has a little
bear-like icon with the name of jdbgmgr.exe DO NOT OPEN
IT FOR ANY REASON
6.- Right click and delete it (it will go to the Recycle bin)

IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS IN ALL OF YOUR SYSTEMS SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ALL

This is very important!

book. Their address book had been infected by a virus and it was passed on
to my computer. My address book in return has been infected.
The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee
anti-virus systems. The virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the
system. It is sent automatically by the messenger and by the Address Book,
whether or not you sent emails to your contacts. I have checked, found it
and deleted it. Here's how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it:
1. Go to Start, Find or Search option
2. In the files\folder option, write the name jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure you search your C-drive
4. Click "find now"
5. The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe. DO NOT OPEN
IT
6. Right click and delete it. It will go to the Recycle Bin
7. Go to the Recycle Bin and delete it there as well
IMPORTANT
If you find the virus, you must contact all the people in your Address Book
so they can eradicate it in their own address books. Sorry about this, I'm
sure everyone in my address book will have it. This message just came to me
today.
