| 72907 | 2002-08-21 04:51:00 | Following a warning from an email contact who had been infected, I found avirus called jdbgmgr.exe, with its teddybear icon, in a file on my C-drive. I deleted this, and deleted it again in the Recycle Bin. I have Norton Systems Works 2002, regularly updated, and my system swept. The contact said that Nortondoes not detect this virus, and my Address book should be checked also. I have Eudora, and did a full av check, which detected no virus. Should anything else be done to make sure my Address Book is clean? And what is Norton doing about this virus? Liam. |

| 72909 | 2002-08-21 05:01:00 | It's a hoax. I know, I fell for it. The file is actually a Javascript Debugger. Stick the file name or "teddy bear icon" or "teddy bear hoax" into the search here at Pressf1 and read all about it and get links to restoring your file. Advice from a long term newbie: Someone emails you something like this ask about it here or go to Symantec or other virus/hoax reporting sites and check it out before you take any action. |

| 72911 | 2002-08-21 05:03:00 | You're right Chris; I think it's the Java debug manager. See more here. (www.symantec.com) |

| 72913 | 2002-08-21 05:04:00 | Good thinking Chris. I seems that it is part of Java. And there is a HOAX. Liam, use the search button at the top of the page. Enter "jdbgmgr.exe" (without the quotes), and start the serach. The first response you get (if its not this one) will tell you the stroy. Furher down there is a thread "How do I restore jdbgmgr.exe " to help you use Java again. ;-) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 72914 | 2002-08-21 05:54:00 | I treat ALL virus alerts I get by emails initially as hoax's. I always search on Google, then report back to persom who sent me the initiall virus warning. There seems to be a few of them about at the moment................ BALDY :-) |
