PLEASE DO NOT START THIS RUMOR AGAIN!!!! THIS VIRUS MESSAGE IS A HOAX.
DO NOT BLAME THE SENDER.
The first time I this hoax virus was probably back in April or May, sent
out by a person on the Scouts-L discussion group.
Here's the real scoop:
this is a VIRUS HOAX - the file in question is a microsoft debugging
file for java applications (thus the name JavaDeBugginGManaGeR.exe) -
IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE ON YOUR COMPUTER - the little bear icon is simply a
"sweet" (sickening, isn't it) Microsoft touch. For information on this
hoax go to the McAfee website where you can read all about it. If you
wish you may also go to the Symantec site (if you have Norton
Anti-Virus) where you may find the same information. If you have
already deleted the file, don't panic. You can simply get a copy of the
file from a friend and reinstall it or go to the Microsoft site (I think
the info is still there) and download a copy with instructions for
reinstallation. Here is a link to the McAfee site:
