virus or program?

Hi, everbody! Recently a good friend e-mailed me about the existence of a virus which she labelled "jdbgmgr.exe ".

According to her, this program has a virus if there is a "bear" icon on the left of its name when one searches in "Find ".

Any comments?

That's a well known hoax. Ignore the advice.

I had to laugh the other day cuz my sister in-law fell for this without asking my brother first before deleting it. Not only one PC but all three in there house.

Thanks, Dad and Zephyr! I actually did the same (fixing) to my other PC , a desktop, after my laptop. What embarrasses me now is that I advised my English students about this so-called virus, so now I have to inform them again about the real score.

Thanks, again, Zephyr and Dad!
