Virus Hoax: Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java (Jdbgmgr.exe) Is Not a
Virus (Q322993)
SUMMARY
There is a virus hoax that advises customers to delete a valid Windows
file that is named Jdbgmgr.exe. This file is the Microsoft Debugger
Registrar for Java. If you receive the e-mail message that is listed in
the "More Information" section of this article, delete the e-mail
message and do not forward it to others. Although this file may become
infected with a virus, its presence is not an indication of a virus
infection.
Do Not do what Don Burris is instructing you to do, this is a Virus Hoax.

This is very important!
I just received a message today from one of my friends listed in my address
book. Their address book had been infected by a virus and it was passed
on
to my computer. My address book in return has been infected.
The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee
anti-virus systems. The virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the
system. It is sent automatically by the messenger and by the Address Book,
whether or not you sent emails to your contacts. I have checked, found it
and deleted it. Here's how to check for the virus and how to get rid of
it:
1. Go to Start, Find or Search option
2. In the files\folder option, write the name jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure you search your C-drive
4. Click "find now"
5. The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe. DO NOT OPEN
IT
6. Right click and delete it. It will go to the Recycle Bin
7. Go to the Recycle Bin and delete it there as well
IMPORTANT
If you find the virus, you must contact all the people in your Address Book
so they can eradicate it in their own address books. Sorry about this, I'm
sure everyone in my address book will have it. This message just came to
me
today.
