Tech: teddybear virus

Hiya all. It would seem I've got the "teddybear" virus. (jdbgmgr.exe).

Norton can't find it, but the icon is there when I search in explorer. Any help, greatly appreciated!

It does things to your address book and then your contacts it seems?

This is a hoax virus. Don't delete the file suggested -its part of Java support.

This hoax is making the rounds. I checked it out on www.snopes.com, my favorite go-to place.

Visit this page at Symantec. The site includes this remark:

    "The Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java (Jdbgmgr.exe) is only used by Microsoft Visual J++ 1.1 developers.

    If you follow the e-mail message instructions and delete this file, you do not have to recover it unless you use Microsoft Visual J++ 1.1 to develop Java programs on Windows XP, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows 98, or Windows 95."
