117256 2003-01-30 05:33:00 I have a friend who has received a warning about a virus namely
jdbgmgr.exe and has instructions how to Edit and delete..........
I have checked FIND on my system and find this file resident as from
8 August 02. I have not had any trouble with my computer so is it GENUINE or a HOAX.........

Be sure to tell your friend it is a hoax, and for him/her to tell whoever sent it to them.....

117260 2003-01-30 09:57:00 Rule Number 1.

NEVER delete a file because an email tells you to.
Check for hoaxes (including this one) at the Norton site: www.symantec.com

Well - not necessarily. The Debugger Registrar for Java is only used by Visual J++ 1.1 developers, so if you're Joe Bloggs the PC user and delete the file it's not going to make a difference to how you view websites that contain Java. Lucky that the people who wrote this hoax didn't go all out and ask everyone to delete all files that end with the extension .dll! They're viruses I tells ya!
