Hi All,

got the following message in this forum which is definitely a hoax. Do not
delete any files regarding this message. Please look to the following link:

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html

Look first onto databases like this if you receive such mails before you do
manipulations in your windows system!

Regards Klaus
