55363	2002-06-20 10:17:00	This is a hoax. That file is part of the operating system, do not delete it. Well done for asking. This hoax has been around for quite some time, and catches many	godfather (25)
55364	2002-06-20 10:19:00	Yes, it is a hoax! jdbgmgr.exe is a system file. It is the Java Debugger Manager and does have an icon that looks like a Teddy Bear and although not normally a virus, it is possible to have a copy of jdbmgr.exe that is infected by a virus especially if you receive an email with a replacement copy of the file. Don't delete the file but do delete the email and don't forward it on :) Look at this microsoft site (support.microsoft.com) for info on how to restore it, for those who may have deleted it. :D J	Jester (13)
