> Greetings,

> Dr. Milton Taylor forwarded your message (below) to me and asked

> get in touch with you. We wanted to let you know that the
> "jdbgmgr.exe"
> virus scare is a hoax, and that there is no need to delete jdbgmgr.exe
> from
> your computer, or to warn others to do so. That file is in fact a
> normal
> component of the Microsoft Windows operating system, not a virus. For
> more
> information on the jdbgmgr hoax, please see:

> http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html
>
> The good news is that the jdbgmgr.exe file is not a *crucial*
> component of
> Windows, so by deleting it you have not damaged your operating system
> (see
> the web page above for more details about exactly what jdbgmgr.exe
> does in
> your operating system). Still, it pays to be cautious before deleting
> a
> file that someone warns you is a virus, since such 'warnings' are
> often a
> hoax. Symantec (makers of Norton Antivirus) maintain a list of these
> hoaxes
> here:

> The most reliable defense against viruses is to keep an antivirus

> such as Norton Antivirus running on your computer all the time, with
> updated
> virus definitions so that you are protected against the latest/most

>> Hello Everyone,
>>
>> Unfortunately, a virus has been passed on to me by a contact.  My
>> address
>> book was infected.
>>
>> Since you are in my address book, there is a good chance you will
>> find the virus in
>> your computer too.  My sincere apologies.
>>
>> The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee
>> antivirus
>> systems.  The 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 have sent an e-mail to your contacts.
>>
>> HERE IS HOW TO CHECK FOR THE VIRUS AND HOW TO GET RID OF IT:
>>
>> 1.  Go to start, find search option.
>>
>> 2.  In the file folder option, type the name jdbgmgr.exe
>>
>> 3.  Be sure you search your C: drive and all subfolders and any other
>> drives
>> you may have.
>>
>> 4.  Click "find now"
>>
>> 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) and choose "Select All" to highlight
>> the
>> file without opening it.
>>
>> 7.  Now go to File (on the menu bar) and select "Delete".  The
>> infected file will then go to
>> the Recycle Bin.
>>
>> 8.  If you find the virus, you should contact all the people in your
>> address book, so that they too can search for the virus and delete it.
>> They then should alert others in their address books.
>>  
>> TO DO THIS "EASILY" :
>>
>> a)  Open a new e-mail message
>>
>> b.  Click the icon of the address book next to the "TO"
>>
>> c.  Highlight every name and add to "BCC" (blind copy)
>>
>> d.  Copy this message and paste to e-mail
>>
>> I have followed all these directions sent by someone to me and was
>> able to easily
>> delete the virus. 
>>  
>> I am sincerely sorry for the inconvenience.
