Virus Hoax (jdbgmgr.exe)

“I got a virus warning in my email today about a higly contagious file with a teddy bear icon. The file is jdbgmgr.exe. The instructions said to delete the file. After consulting McAfee, I learned that the warning is a hoax and that the file is important. On occasion, the file can become infected - but its designed to have a teddy bear icon.”

“I think more viruses are spread by virus alerts than any other format.

I never forward or even open a virus alert. My Sophus software has kept me safe for years.”

“You could be right on that BacPac. McAfee has done fine for me. I do wish people would take 2 minutes to check things out before forwarding them.”

“My dad has a terrible habbit of spreading e-mail and virus hoaxes. I think someone really came down hard on him over the last one (just yesterday) and he's finally understanding the point.”

“Hoaxes?”

“4:30, our IT department sent an alert.”

“I've got a sister that's really bad for forwarding that kind of junk. Some of it multiple times after I've told her it was a hoax. Then she can't figure out why her IT at work bars her from email usage sometimes for months at a time. The world must be a continuing mystery of wonders to her.”

“The full story on that hoax can be found here.”

“LOL Viol man... I almost fell for that again... but noticed the url that showed when when my arrow passed over the link.”

“I block people that forward a lot of crap. Obviously they need to be restricted to just use the phone or snail mail for communication.”
