Jdbgmgr.exe file hoax

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.
