[HANASHIR:12218] don't bother - virus is hoax

[Eric Komar <ekomar...>]

Go to this site to read that the jdbgmgr.exe virus is a hoax. In fact, if you 
do delete it, some Java applets won't work right.

  Subject: [HANASHIR:12217] from Rebekah-please check, you're in my address 
book & may have a virus!














  Hey everyone...I'm sorry if you've received this already but someone sent me 
this to check for a virus she sent by accident and I DID have it on my hard 
drive.  I don't know anything about computers and viruses but I think it would 
be safest to check and delete it if you do have it.
