IGNORE THIS EMAIL WARNING THAT WAS SENT EARLIER TODAY AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS
MESSAGE...

This message was sent to this list and it is a hoax:

"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. The file that
the hoax refers to, Jdbgmgr.exe, is a Java Debugger Manager. It is a
Microsoft file that is installed when you install Windows.

It has a teddy bear icon as described in the hoax:




CAUTION: Jdbgmgr.exe, like any file, can become infected by a virus. One
virus in particular, W32.Efortune.31384@mm, 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, some Java applets
may not run correctly. This is not a critical system file. The file version
may vary with your operating system and version of Internet Explorer. If you
want to restore the file, read the instructions in the How to restore the
Jdbgmgr.exefile section at the end of this document."
See:

for the rest of this information...



Todd: Is it possible that you or someone could possibly start moderating
this list thru Yahoo to catch posts such as this? I know we also get a bit
of spam occasionally. I moderate another list and can catch quite a bit like
this...

Thanks,



Danny
