Don't delete JDBGMGR.EXE !!



It is supposed to be there.

JDBGMGR.EXE is the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java. The program
                     uses an icon of a grey teddybear. Some versions of
the hoax misreport the
                     name of this file as JDBMGR.EXE or JBDGMGR.EXE.

                     Although it is possible for the file to be infected
by a virus, it has also been the
                     subject of a hoax.

The confusion is compounded, however, by the W32/Magistr-A virus which
is
                    capable of emailing infected copies of JDBGMGR.EXE
to innocent users. This is
                    probably how the scare started. It should be noted
that Sophos Anti-Virus has
                    been capable of detecting W32/Magistr-A since March
2001.
