Symantec Security Response encourages you to ignore any messages
regarding this hoax. It is harmless and is intended only to cause
unwarranted concern.
Type: Hoax
This is a hoax that, like the SULFNBK.EXE Warning hoax, tries to
persuade you to delete a legitimate Windows file from your computer. The
file that the hoax refers to, Jdbgmgr.exe, is a Java Debugger Manager.
It is a Microsoft file that is installed when you install Windows.
It has a teddy bear icon as described in the hoax.
CAUTION: Jdbgmgr.exe, like any file, can become infected by a virus. One
virus in particular, W32.Efortune.31384@mm, targets this file. Norton
AntiVirus has provided protection against W32.Efortune.31384@mm since
May 11, 2001.
NOTE: If you have already deleted the Jdbgmgr.exe file, some Java
applets may not run correctly. This is not a critical system file. The
file version may vary with your operating system and version of Internet
Explorer. If you want to restore the file, please contact Microsoft for
instructions.

I found the little bear in my machine because of that I am sending this

In order to eliminate it, it is just necessary to do the following
steps:
1. Go to Start, click "Search"
2.- In the "Files or Folders option" write the name jdbgmgr.exe

of jdbgmgr.exe DO NOT OPEN IT FOR ANY REASON

7.- Go to the recycle bin and delete it or empty the recycle bin.
IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS IN ALL OF YOUR SYSTEMS SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ALL OF
YOUR CONTACTS LOCATED IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK BEFORE IT CAN CAUSE ANY
