This is in response to the message about the supposed "teddy bear icon"
virus, referring to the jdgbgr.exe file.  This file is not a virus.  Below
is directly quoted information which I found on the Symantek website:

Symantec Security Response encourages you to ignore any messages regarding
this hoax.
It is harmless and is intended only to cause unwarranted concern.
Type:
Hoax
technical details
This hoax, like the
 SULFNBK.EXE Warning hoax
, tries to encourage you to delete a legitimate Windows file from your
computer.
Jdbgmgr.exe is the file to which the hoax refers, and it is the Microsoft
Debugger
Registrar for Java. The Jdbgmgr.exe file may be installed when you install
Windows.
Notes:
Some versions of this hoax take advantage of an actual threat, the
W32.bugbear@mm
 worm. The Jdbgmgr.exe file mentioned in the hoax has a bear icon. The
actual
W32.bugbear@mm
 worm file is a .exe file and does not have a bear icon.
Other versions of this hoax have slightly different ways in which they refer
to the
Jdbgmgr.exe file, usually in the subject of the email message.
For example:
Subject: "jdbg" Virus: how to detect and remove.
NOTE: Recent
The Windows Jdbgmgr.exe file has a teddy bear icon in the hoax, as
illustrated below:
CAUTION: A virus can infect Jdbgmgr.exe. The
W32.Efortune.31384@mm
 virus in particular targets this file. Norton AntiVirus has provided
protection
against W32.Efortune.31384@mm since May 11, 2001.
NOTE:
 If you have already deleted the Jdbgmgr.exe file, in most cases, you do not
need
to re-install it. The following quote is extracted from the Microsoft
Knowledge Base
article, "
Virus Hoax: Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java (Jdbgmgr.exe) Is Not a
Virus (Q322993)
."
"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."
If you need to restore this file, follow the instructions in "
Virus Hoax: Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java (Jdbgmgr.exe) Is Not a
Virus (Q322993)
."
