Don't delete JDBGMGR.EXE !!
It is supposed to be there.
JDBGMGR.EXE is the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java. The program
uses an icon of a grey teddybear. Some versions of
the hoax misreport the
name of this file as JDBMGR.EXE or JBDGMGR.EXE.
Although it is possible for the file to be infected
by a virus, it has also been the
subject of a hoax.
The confusion is compounded, however, by the W32/Magistr-A virus which
is
capable of emailing infected copies of JDBGMGR.EXE
to innocent users. This is
probably how the scare started. It should be noted
that Sophos Anti-Virus has
been capable of detecting W32/Magistr-A since March
2001.
