_____________________________________________________

Two things should be noted about the file JDBGMGR.EXE.

First, it is a standard utility program (the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java) included with some versions of Windows and is normally installed in the 'system32' subdirectory of the WINNT directory.
It has an icon in the form of a teddy bear that may lead users to be suspicious of it.

Second, because of its location and size and being a PE-style EXE, JDBGMGR.EXE has been observed included as an attachment in e-mail messages sent by the Win32.Magistr virus.

Thus, if you receive a copy of JDBGMGR.EXE as an email attachment, that could well be an infected copy of the file and an indication that the sender is infected with Win32.Magistr.
