This is an age old hoax. Deleting this file will not hurt unless you debug java, if you do then deleting the JDBMGR.xex file will stop you from debugging java.

Please people, do some research first... 5 seconds of googling found this: www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html http://www.f-secure.com/hoaxes/jdbgmgr.shtml http://www.secuser.com/hoax/2002/jdbgmgrexe.htm You don't even have to open them to know what it says... Claudio -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Important: I was just informed that someone accidentally passed a virus on to me. My address book has, in turn, possibly been infected. Since you are in my address book, there is a chance that you will find the virus in your computer, too. The virus called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee anti-virus systems. I have been told that this virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent automatically by messenger and by the address book whether or not you send e-mail to your contacts. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!

Hmm, this hoax has at least 5 people on the PIClist searching for information for at least one minute, writing a reply which takes up time and bandwidth... And the piclist is only one address on the book of the original sender. Do the math and remember how much time and money you've wasted by not checking for yourself in the first place...

Please don't...I said something like that in a chat session after someone had been sounding off about jdbgmgr and they all believed me implicitly, I had to spend the next ten minutes explaining. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tal" <.....kooterKILLspam.....012.NET.IL> To: <EraseMEPICLISTspam_OUTTakeThisOuTMITVMA.MIT.EDU> Sent: 07 January 2003 10:32 Subject: [OT]: RE: Virus alert > Btw, the real virus is in the files called c:\command.com and > c:\windows\win.com delete them and all virus problem will be solved in one > wand wave :-) > > Tal Bejerano > > {Original Message removed}

Since they could receive the explanations they did not believe you so blindly imho. Peter -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

Peter Today I scanned my PC with online virus checker http://www.trendmicro.com and choose free online Checking. After it scanned my hard drive it found 14 infected files that were able to repair them. I have NAV Installed and definitions are up to date it didn't see it. I do not think NAV is the best virus checker. I think the best virus Cleaner is to format your hard drive every year or so and Backup on CDR very often. Andre Abelian {Original Message removed}

Andre After 12 years dealing with all kinds of viruses I can tell you that some anti-virus software sometime "find" viruses even it's not a real virus, the reason is the old method called "virus signature" so don't be so sure it's a REAL virus, it could be some innocent file that have a string that look-a-like a virus. NAV have a huge research center and as far a I know they are most up-to-date. even so, most stealth viruses cannot be detected but only in safe-mode, when the virus is not active, there is some exceptions...

Yes, a free virus checker "found" some virii on my machine that turned out to be nothing more than multiple copies of "readme.com", which was once included with many Borland products.

Apropos: Is there a virus that changes the splash screen of Windows in subtle ways ? I was unable to find a reference on this. Peter -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline? Don't AutoReply us! email @spam@listservKILLspammitvma.mit.edu with SET PICList DIGEST in the body
