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, read the instructions in the How to restore the
Jdbgmgr.exefile section at the end of this document.
