This is a hoax that tries to persuade you to delete a legitimate
Windows file from your computer. The file that the hoax refers
to, Jdbgmgr.exe, is the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java.
It may be installed when you install Windows.
NOTE: Recent version of this hoax take advantage of the recent
outbreak of the W32.bugbear@mm worm, and the fact that the
Jdbgmgr.exe file that is mentioned in the hoax has a bear icon.
The actual W32.bugbear@mm worm file is an .exe file and does
not have a bear icon.
The Windows Jdbgmgr.exe file has a teddy bear icon as
described in the hoax.......
CAUTION: Jdbgmgr.exe, like any file, can become infected by
a virus. One virus in particular, W32.Efortune.31384@mm,
targets this file. Norton AntiVirus has provided protection against
W32.Efortune.31384@mm since May 11, 2001.
NOTE: If you have already deleted the Jdbgmgr.exe file, in most
cases, you do not have to reinstall it. The following is quoted
from the Microsoft Knowledge Base article Virus Hoax:
Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java (Jdbgmgr.exe) Is Not a
Virus (Q322993)....."
