I found this page by typing jdbgmgr in a Yahoo Search. it
is called Symantec Security Response - Jdbgmgr.exe file
hoax. its url is
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file
.hoax.html
Basically jdbgmgr is a legitimate file that is an integral
part of the windows installation. I right clicked on the
teddy bear and clicked Properties. I can tell by how old
it is it's legit. I've had my puter a few years.
I didn't fall for it and delete the file but some of my
friends did so heres MY question:
Is Microsoft.com prepared to head this hoax off at the
pass and offer replacement jdbgmgr.exe downloads depending
on which Windows youre running, in case you did delete it?
Where do we navigate to from the microsoft.com front page?
