The Jdbgmgr Hoax
April 2002

The jdbgmgr hoax is almost the same as the sulfnbk hoax in that it tells you
to delete a program that was installed with Windows. jdbmgr.exe is the Java
Debugger Manager and does have an icon that looks like a Teddy Bear. It is
not, normally, a virus. As with all executables, it is not impossible to
have a copy of jdbmgr.exe that is infected by a virus but that virus will be
detected by your antivirus software.

Microsoft has posted the article Q322993 with information on how to replace
jdbgmgr.exe if you have deleted it.

Hi everybody, I just wanted to let you know you
should check your computers by following the
procedure that's next....I don't remember
getting an email with that file attachment, but
I found it in my system. Since I found the
dumb little bear in my computer, I'm sending
you the info.

The virus is called jdbgmgr.exe and it transfers
automatically through Messenger and also through
your address book and since I have all of you in
my address book I have to send everyone this info.
I'm sorry if this causes any problems. It
certainly wasn't intentional.

The virus isn't detected by McAfee or Norton and it
remains in the folder for 14 days before activating
and harming the system. It can be erased before
it eliminates the files in your computer. To
do so, follow these steps:

1.- Click on "Start"
2.- Go to find "files and folders" and write the
name of jdbgmgr.exe
3.- Make sure it's looking in "C" drive.
4.- Click on "Find now"
5.- If the virus appears (the icon is a little bear
that has the name of (jdbgmgr.exe)
DO NOT OPEN IT FOR ANY REASON
6.- Right click on it and delete it (it will go to
the recycle bin)
7.- Go to the recycle bin and either delete
everything in the folder, or right click on
the little bear and delete.

If you find this virus in your computer, please send
this message to all the people in your address book
before it causes any damage.
