JDBGMGR.EXE

[hlvorbeck]

I've recibed a lot of mails telling about a virus named ¨JDBGMGR.EXE¨

The text say ¨if you have a file named JDBGMGR.EXE in the folder C:\windows\system¨ delete this one because is a virus ........ ¨

I think that it isn´t true and it one is a Windows file, but I´m not sure.

Is it correct ?
Anybody knows for what is this file ?

Thank you very much.

Most likely this is a hoax although this file can be infected by Magistr.

This is from Sophos:
JDBGMGR.EXE is the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java. The program uses an icon of a grey teddybear.

Although it is possible for the file to be infected by a virus, it has also been the subject of a hoax.

Note: The W32/Magistr-A virus is known to infect the file JDBGMGR.EXE (this is unconnected with the hoax) so Sophos recommends users delete the file if they ever receive it as an email attachment.
