jdbgmgr.exe
search for it... if you have it, delete it NOW!!!!!!!
it is a dormant virus that norton cant detect. it has a little teddy bear icon. GET RID OF IT NOW! it will lay dormant for a few weeks, then destroy your cpu. it attatches itself to outgoing email. spread this around. this is VERY important.

I'm not sure of this.....I've heard messages before about an exe file with teddy bear icon being a virus but it appeared that it is actually a windows file and you should NOT delete it. :\

i'm sorry if i'm wrong, but i got this is my mailbox a while ago too, and later heard something 'bout it being a hoax warning
the file does exist on many computers but it's an essential file, and other than the warning says, the trouble only starts when you delete it
i'm sorry if i mix this up with some other story, i really read this somewhere

It's not really essential at all:
"If you follow the e-mail message instructions and delete this file, you do not have to recover it unless you use Microsoft Visual J++ 1.1 to develop Java programs on Windows XP, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows 98, or Windows 95."

um, ok... here goes:
you suffered a great trauma comparable to that of witnessing a car accident close-up. seeing your comorade in arms in such a state of hyper-tension wore on you, and you need approximately 5 shots of hard alcohol to bring you to your senses.

damn I'm having problems with my computer lately and I thought this would be the solution as I have that file on my comp. Not,.fucking hoaxes.
Anyone having problems entering hotmail? server down or is it just me?
Also every time I want to enter the "start" tab in the below left corner of the screen my comp. crashes! wtf is this?

yeah, there has been two hoax warning out...
one for jdbgmgr.exe (java manager something) and sulfnbk.exe (module that makes windows store more than 8 chars for a filename, i think)...
the best would be, whenever you get mails like that, go to google first and search for the filename...

Tibbar - always always always do a Google for keywords when someone tells you about a virus. 9 times out of 10 if the alert came from anywhere other than a properly configured virus scanner, it's a hoax and you'll wind up reading about it at Symantec or Macafee.
Look what happens when you search for jdbmgr.exe

i've never heard of a virus that can physically destroy a cpu, i think that's very unlikely
there was one apparently that could erase AWARD and AMI BIOS's rendering the motherboard dead
these "warnings" are in effect themselves viri, as they proliforate rapidly around the world clogging up email servers, and scaring people everywhere... probably waste nearly as many man-hours as a real virus
