As this is the second hoax I've had in two days (for two different 'virus')
I'm posting a link to symantec. It's one of a number of sites which list
computer virus and their respective hoaxs.

This site or one like it should be checked before forwarding these types of
messages.


http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html

If you prefer to check on a site that acutually links to a virus scanner,
here is the same message from McAffee

Sorry everybody. This virus showed up on my C drive. It is not picked up by
Norton or McAffee virus scanners. It has possibly been sent to everyone in
my address book. Please follow directions below to find and remove.
