| 110269 | 2003-01-01 04:38:00 | Tim, if you receive such emails about viruses in the future, it always pays to confirm the validity of the warning by doing a search with google on that virus, or by checking it out on the Symantec website. Jdbgmgr.exe file hoax (www.symantec.com) You may wish to email the person who sent you this warning the above link as well. |

| 110270 | 2003-01-01 04:43:00 | TiM, you can go to Symantec and check out virus warnings for yourself to see if they are hoaxes or not. Go here: securityresponse.symantec.com type in the name of the virus in the search box, click Search then read the results. | tommy (2826) | ||
