I have received messages telling me that this is a virus
undectable by Norton and McAfee that spreads through
Messenger and Outlook Address Book. It should, I am told,
be consigned to the Recycle Bin and deleted. The file has
a teddy bear icon and is named "jdbg.exe". In consigning
this to the Recycle bin I note that it is labelled as a
Microsoft Debugger. It appears that the virus (if that is
what it is ) occurs in "XP" but not in "Windows 98"
Can sombody advise me please
a)is this a genuine virus or
b) a hoax and that "jdbg.exe" part of a genuine Microsoft
Debug programme?
