NOTE: On 21st of May 2002, a new virus using this
hoax was found. The virus sends messages coming apparently from Symantec
corporation and contains a warning on the JDBGMGR hoax - plus a virus
attached to it.

In April 2002 there appeared a hoax message concerning a new virus that
was reportedly discovered in Windows utility JDBGMGR.EXE. The jdbgmgr is
a standard windows component that is found in every windows installation,
it is used as Java debugger manager in Microsoft Java runtime engine. We
checked several versions of this utility from Windows installations and
found nothing malicious in them.

Please ignore this hoax or anything similar warning about jdbgmgr.exe and
don't pass it on.

If you have deleted jdbgmgr.exe, please see Microsoft knowledgebase
article Q322993 for instructions
