[citw150] CITW 150 Lesson 3 Question 5

The Jdbgmgr.exe hoax was one that we ran into a couple of years ago where I 
work. The hoax warns about a virus that can't be detected by anti-virus 
software and that you should search your hard drive for a file named 
Jdbgmgr.exe that has a teddy bear icon. The hoax warns that the file is a virus 
and should be deleted. The file is actually the Microsoft Debugger Registrar 
for Java. While deleting it won't cause any problems unless you are a Java 
developer the hoax caused unnecessary worrying since the file the hoax says is 
a virus will appear on Windows PCs.
