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 hoax, like the SULFNBK.EXE Warning hoax, tries to encourage you to
delete a legitimate Windows file from your computer. Jdbgmgr.exe is the file
to which the hoax refers, and it is the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for
Java. The Jdbgmgr.exe file may be installed when you install Windows.

NOTE: Recent versions of this hoax take advantage of the recent outbreak of
the [EMAIL PROTECTED] worm. The Jdbgmgr.exe file mentioned in the hoax has a
bear icon. The actual [EMAIL PROTECTED] worm file is a .exe file and does not
have a bear icon.

The Windows Jdbgmgr.exe file has a teddy bear icon in the hoax, as
illustrated below:
