My dad recently received a email warning him about a possible virus that may have infiltrated various comps. The file is:
"jdbgmgr.exe"
and is supposedly the virus program. Is this "virus alert" a real one or a hoax?
Note: I use win2k pro.
Have I been hit by a virus or a hoax?

Anything worth the cost of a missile, which can be located on the battlefield, will be shot at with missiles. If the US military is involved, then things, which are not worth the cost if a missile will also be shot at with missiles. -Sea Skimmer

Hoax. That file is a file used for Java development. That hoax has been floating around the web for quite a while now.Shinova wrote:My dad recently received a email warning him about a possible virus that may have infiltrated various comps. The file is:
