Jdbgmgr.exe file hoax  
Reported on: April 12, 2002  
Last Updated on: February 12, 2003 08:27:21 PM 

Symantec Security Response encourages you to ignore any messages
regarding this hoax. It is harmless and is intended only to cause
unwarranted concern.

Type: Hoax 

This is a hoax that, like the SULFNBK.EXE Warning hoax, tries to
persuade you to delete a legitimate Windows file from your computer.
Jdbgmgr.exe is the file to which the hoax refers, and it is the
Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java. The Jdbgmgr.exe file may be
installed when you install Windows.

NOTE: Recent versions of this hoax take advantage of the recent outbreak
of the W32.bugbear@mm worm and that the Jdbgmgr.exe file mentioned in
the hoax has a bear icon. The actual W32.bugbear@mm worm file is an .exe
file and does not have a bear icon.

The Windows Jdbgmgr.exe file has a teddy bear icon in the hoax, as
illustrated below:

CAUTION: A virus can infect Jdbgmgr.exe. The W32.Efortune.31384@mm
virus, in particular, targets this file. Norton AntiVirus has provided
protection against W32.Efortune.31384@mm since May 11, 2001.

NOTE: If you have already deleted the Jdbgmgr.exe file, in most cases,
you do not have to re-install it. The following quote is extracted from
the Microsoft Knowledge Base article, "Virus Hoax: Microsoft Debugger
Registrar for Java (Jdbgmgr.exe) Is Not a Virus (Q322993)."

"The Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java (Jdbgmgr.exe) is only used by
Microsoft Visual J++ 1.1 developers.

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."

If you need to restore this file, follow the instructions in "Virus
Hoax: Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java (Jdbgmgr.exe) Is Not a Virus
(Q322993)."

Hoax message
This hoax has appeared in several languages. Some examples of the exact
content copied from the hoax message are:

English, version 1
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 REASON
6.- 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.

English, version 2

Dear All

I'm sorry about this; but I received this E-mail from a client regarding
a virus that was inadvertently passed on to everyone in their address
book. I followed the instructions and YES, IT WAS ON MY COMPUTER. 

Since you are in my address book, I am sending this on to you as a
precaution. NORTON 2002 DID NOT DETECT IT! 

Here are the instructions on how to check for this virus and delete it
if you have it too. It only took a few minutes, following these
instructions. Be sure to notify all in your address book too (which will
take longer than deleting the virus from your computer). 

Since you are in our address book, there is a good chance you will find
it in your computer too unless you have an Apple or MAC. The virus
(called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee anti-virus
systems. The virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system.
It is sent automatically by messenger and by the address book, whether
or not you sent Emails to your contacts. Here's how to check for the
virus and how to get rid of it: 

YOU MUST DO THIS
1. Go to Start, Go to Find or Search option 
2. In the File Folder option, type the name: jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure you search your C: drive and all sub-folders and any
otherdrives you may have. 
4. Click "Find Now"
5. The Virus has a Teddy Bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe DO NOT
OPENIT 
6. Go to Edit (on menu bar), choose "Select All" to highlight the file
without opening it. 
7. Now go to File (on the menu bar) and select Delete. It will then go
to the Recycle Bin. 
8. Go to the Recycle Bin and Delete it
IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS, YOU MUST CONTACT ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS
BOOK, SO THEY CAN ERADICATE IT IN THEIR OWN ADDRESS BOOKS. 

To do this:
a) Open a new e-mail message
b) Click the icon of the address book next to the "TO"
c) Highlight every name and add to "BCC"
d) Copy this message enter subject paste to e-mail
Am very sorry about this nuisance. This age of technology is not that
great sometimes. We are victims!
