A old virus hoax has came back
      #64006 - 03/14/03 09:34 PM

This has already been gone over the internet a while ago but it is back. Just wanted to let everybody know that didn't about this hoax:

AVERT HOAX Notice!!
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 W32/Magistr@MM), 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 Removal Instructions for instructions.
It uses this icon. Well I copied it and the Icon didn't show but it is a teddy bear sitting up. If by chance you have followed the directions to delet this and want to know more about it. This is the link to Macafee:

When you are in school and still vary your hook up and IP address you still get hammered.I lost it all.My computer manufacturer gave me a new one just because I could not remove a BIOS and a boot up virus.I am just feeling my way back.Thanks for asking.I hate doing it,but otherwise,it is no computer.
