Virus Patch ?

[Jon Bleackley]

I have recently been caught out by the jbdgmgr.exe virus
hoax, and mistakenly deleted the teddy bear java file
from my PC. I have heard there is a repair patch
available via Microsoft but cannot seem to find it. Can
anyone help please ?

I found the following at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/newsgroups/default.asp?url=/technet/newsgroups/nodepages/sectop10.asp
Q: I got an email telling me I should remove the Teddy Bear virus that is
contained in a file named jdbgmgr.exe. Should I follow these instructions?
A: No. This file is a Microsoft java debugger file. Do not remove it. For
more technical information, see:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;322993. If you do
remove jdbgmgr.exe you needn't bother to restore it, since it is likely you
won't ever need it.

In general, DO NOT follow instructions in unsolicited emails from sources
you do not know and should not trust. See
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/news/hoaxes.asp for more
information.

Jon;
***There are two variants of this, one is not a hoax***

If you received the message to delete the teddy bear icon:
Antivirus do not detect it because it is a hoax.
Whenever you get an E-Mail like that, check this link, near the bottom
in Reference Area, click on Hoaxes:

To restore jdbgmgr.exe in Windows XP:
Go to this link, line 184 "Restore jdbgmgr.exe - Virus Hoax" to
replace jdbgmgr.exe:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Place it in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory.

To restore jdbgmgr.exe in Windows 98/98SE:
Insert the Windows 98 CD.

There is also a Trojan called "jasmin".
The trojan takes advantage of this well known hoax
The Teddy bear icon is correct, the screwdriver is the virus file.
See these links for more details:

It is VERY IMPORTANT to run an updated virus scan once this issue is
resolved to ensure your computer is virus free.
Also run an updated virus scan at least weekly to reduce your chances
of getting a virus to near zero.
Forward these links to your friends that may have the same issue.
