      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.

that's from the F-Prot site :)

  Hello all

  Please check your C drive for this virus that sends itself to all  the
  people in your address book. It is not an email, it is an exe file and
  will stay in your C drive for 14 days before destroying everything
  apparently. It was on our computer, sent to us from
  someone else who had it sent to them.
  There are instructions below as to how to get rid of it butplease ensure
  you delete the file when you find it (DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK ON IT) and
  then delete all items in your recycle bin and then send this e-mail on
  to all the people in your address books.
  I checked and YES IT WAS ON MY COMPUTER IN C DRIVE This is AUTOMATICALLY
  SENT TO ALL CONTACTS STORED IN THE ADDRESS LIST. YOU ARE ONE OF THE
  CONTACTS IN MY LIST.
  We understand that the virus stays hidden for 14 days before destroying
  the operating system.
  To eliminate the virus you must do the following :

  1- Click on "START" and then click on "FIND"
  2- In FIND click on FILES or FOLDERS then write the
  name of the  file jdbgmgr.exe
  3-Make sure you are searching in C DRIVE
  4-The virus has an icon like a Grey Teddy Bear
  5- DO NOT OPEN IT. DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY.
  6- THEN DELETE YOUR RECYCLE BIN, as it is still active
  in the Recycle Bin.
  7- If you find the virus, please send this to all the
  people in your address book, before the virus causes any more
  damage.

  IF IN DOUBT CONTACT YOUR COMPUTER SPECIALIST.
