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 the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for
Java. It may be installed when you install Windows.
NOTE: Recent version of this hoax take advantage of the recent outbreak of
the W32.bugbear@mm worm, and the fact that the Jdbgmgr.exe file that is
mentioned in the hoax has a bear icon. The actual W32.bugbear@mm worm file
is an .exe file and does not have a bear icon.
The Windows Jdbgmgr.exe file has a teddy bear icon as described in the hoax:
