Windows Forum / Windows Me / Internet / September 2003Teddy Bear virus?
Someone warned me about a Teddy Bear virus, found by searching for jdbgmgr.exe. I found it - but is this a virus or something valid? See MS KB 322993 - "Virus Hoax: Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java (Jdbgmgr.exe) Is Not a Virus" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=322993). Also you would probably be better relying on your anti-virus application, that is assuming you use one and have updated current viral reference signatures, than spurious unsolicited e-mails. :-) -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP mcmaltby@hotmail.com > Someone warned me about a Teddy Bear virus, found by > searching for jdbgmgr.exe.

Don't delete it. You may need it later. Search for Internet hoaxes you'll find many other ones. |
