Do
Not Delete jdbgmgr.exe
Windows
users, here we go again. A bogus message that warns users
of a new Windows virus is circulating around the Internet.
The virus does not really exist, but this hoax message advises
users to delete jdbgmgr.exe to eradicate the virus. jdbgmgr.exe
is not a infected file, but is instead a built-in executable
file that is used by Windows systems. If you delete this
file, you may damage your system, so don't do it! Just
delete the message instead.
If
you have deleted JDBGMGR.EXE from your system, it can be restored
by installing an updated version of Microsft Virtual Machine
or Internet Explorer.

more information, visit the F-Secure
jdbgmgr.exe page.

Do
Not Delete sulfnbk.exe
This
email virus hoax arrives with the subject line, "Re:
Virus you are probably infected," -or- "This is
important!" and it will instruct you to delete a file
called sulfnbk.exe as being the infected file. This file is
a Microsoftsystem file that is used to restore long file names.
DO NOT DELETE IT!
Although the hoax message itself does not do damage to your
PC, it can be dangerous because, if you are not aware, it
will fool you into changing something on your computer that
will cause problems. In addition, hoax messages may cause
network slowness if they are forwarded in sufficient quantity.
This is the real goal of the hoax virus writer. DO NOT FORWARD
THIS HOAX EMAIL! Delete the message if you receive it, and
let the sender of the message know that he or she is unwittingly
perpetrating a hoax. Forwarding hoax messages takes up valuable
network bandwidth and dilutes the impact of true virus warning
messages.
For more information, visit the Symantec
sulnbk.exe page.
If you
any questions about this virus, please call the Help Desk
at X3430 for more information.

Takes Guts to Say Jesus

no such destructive message. If you receive the bogus warning
message, delete it, and don't forward it to others.
