Subject: [PCSOFT] virus?
Please advise-I was told to search for a file that was a virus and sure enough I had the file in
question. But I'm afraid it might be a valid file and the warning is a hoax. The file is
JDBGMGR.exe and has a teddy bear I was supposed to NOT click. Just delete. Is this a vaild file or
should I delete it? Thanks and ASAP!

Kathy,
Bill's correct - this is a hoax. Please see the following excerpt from a recent post to PCSoft:
