in turn has been affected. followed the directions below
and eradicated the virus easily. The virus(called
jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee anti-

damaging the system. It is sent

other drives you may have.

5. The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name
jdbgmgr.exe. DO NOT
OPEN IT.
6. Go to edit (on the menu bar), choose "select all" to
highlight the
file without opening it.
7. Now go to the file (on the menu bar) and select

About this Virus
This what it look like
This hoax, like the SULFNBK.EXE Warning hoax, tries to
encourage you to delete a legitimate Windows file from
your computer. Jdbgmgr.exe is the file to which the hoax
refers, and it is the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for
Java. The Jdbgmgr.exe file may be installed when you
install Windows.
NOTE: Recent versions of this hoax take advantage of the
recent outbreak of the W32.bugbear@mm worm. The
Jdbgmgr.exe file mentioned in the hoax has a bear icon.
The actual W32.bugbear@mm worm file is a .exe file and
does not have a bear icon.
The Windows Jdbgmgr.exe file has a teddy bear icon in the
hoax
