Is jdbgmgr.exe in C:\WINDOWS\system32 a virus?

[Guest]

Hi
I got a message that the virus (in the form of jdbgmgr.exe, date modified: 28/Feb/03) can be in my computer. I searched and found that only in C:\WINDOWS\system32, the above exe is there with a teddy bear icon
Shall I delete this exe ? I am not sure because this can be a required windows file

Thanks, Ti

No, this is a valid file. Its the Java Debug Manager.

Greetings --

This is a very, very old hoax. If your antivirus software is
current and detects nothing, you're most likely safe. Do nothing with
the named file, delete the email, and tell whomever sent you the
original message to check their facts before spreading rumors.

It's important to remember that almost _any_ email virus warning
is a hoax, designed primarily to bog down email systems by having
well-meaning but uniformed people send out hundreds of otherwise
valueless email warnings. When you receive a warning like this, the
*first* thing you should do is check its veracity at one or more of
the following web sites:

Symantec Security Response - Hoax Page
