This little fun fest traveled from Austrailia to England to USA to Canada to India. Details below...... McAfee AVERT Labs would like to inform you of a new email HOAX. This email message is just a HOAX. Although, the JDBGMGR.EXE file may become infected by a number of valid viruses (most commonly <A HREF="http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_99040.htm">W32/Magistr@MM</A>), the details of this HOAX message are not based on actual events. We are advising users who receive the email to delete the message and DO NOT pass it on as this is how an email HOAX propagates. JDBGMGR.EXE is the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java. This application is only useful for Java developers and does not need to be restored on other user's systems. In the event that this file has already been deleted and you need to restore it, see the <A HREF="http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/#RemovalInstructions">Removal Instructions</A> for instructions. It uses this icon: In the event that JDBGMGR.EXE was deleted erroneously, the following method may be used to restore the file from backup (<A HREF="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q322993&">see additional information from Microsoft</A>: Below is the actual text from the message that may be received via email. There are numerous variations on these messages. (English version) I found the little bear in my machine because of that I am sending this message in order for you to find it in your machine. The procedure is very simple: The objective of this e-mail is to warn all Hotmail users about a new virus that is spreading by MSN Messenger. The name of this virus is jdbgmgr.exe and it is sent automatically by the Messenger and by the address book too. The virus is not detected by McAfee or Norton and it stays quiet for 14 days before damaging the system. The virus can be cleaned before it deletes the files from your system. In order to eliminate it, it is just necessary to do the following steps: 1. Go to Start, click "Search"2.- In the "Files or Folders option" write the name jdbgmgr.exe 3.- Be sure that you are searching in the drive "C" 4.- Click "find now" 5.- If the virus is there (it has a little bear-like icon with the name of jdbgmgr.exe DO NOT OPEN IT FOR ANY REASON6.- Right click and delete it (it will go to the Recycle bin) 7.- Go to the recycle bin and delete it or empty the recycle bin. IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS IN ALL OF YOUR SYSTEMS SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ALL OF YOUR CONTACTS LOCATED IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK BEFORE IT CAN CAUSE ANY DAMAGE.
