jdbgmgr.exe

[l_msimpson]

I have received an e-mail encourging me to delete jdbgmgr.exe if it appears with a teddy bear icon.As a matter of fact I searched for it and it appears in the window´s system file with the teddy bear as its icon.

What do you suggest?

Hello,

The "jdbgmgr.exe" file is standard part of the Windows java system, it actually the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java. It also normally has a icon that looks like a teddy bear.

I would guess that the e-mail you received is actually a hoax and I would not delete the file.

Regards,

Simon Clausen

Thank you, it would be usefull to spread this information that appears as a possible hoax.

Glad to see you checked before you took action. A few of my friends weren't quite so careful and hobbled their systems (sulfnbk.exe hoax). Whenever you get a "virus warning!!!" go to the Symantec Antivirus Research Center (www.vmyths.com (http://www.sarc.com>www.sarc.com</a>))) to get the truth about what is going on. Then hit "Reply to All" on the email and admonish everyone on the list to do the same. My friends have just about stopped passing these warnings to me because they get emails back from me telling them to check out the rumors before they repeat them.

LOL on the pass back! Same here ... I send them the hoax page......

Never do anything that you get in the email always check it out at the site that is suppose to be doing the changing......

Thanks

Actually, these hoax's are a 2-part nuisance.
1. A 'poor man's' virus that has the user do the dirty work.
2. Network traffic from all the 'sending' and then the 'reply all'-ing.
Don't reply to everyone, just delete it and go on. Otherwise, you are also a part of the 'destructive payload'. People will eventually learn to check out 'advice' before accepting it and deleting files.
