Re: VIRUS ALERT....URGENT...I HAD IT

[Bob Raible <laetacara@yahoo.com>]

This is a hoax! jdbgmgr.exe is NOT avirus! Do not follow this fellow's
directions or you will be deleting a file used by your computer to run
Java. I already replied to this idiocy in another group so obviously
this guy is a trouble maker and should be banned from the list. EMAIL
me if you already deleted the file and need to find out how to restore
it.
