Virus "Hoax" being generated

A Virus "Hoax" is being "generated" by Hotmail & messenger email providers apparently. This is an email that claims to have caught a virus called jdbgmgr.exe and then gives instructions on how to eliminate it from your system. DO NOT follow those instructions. It also says that it is not recognized by Norton, but it is and the "link" is provided here: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html PLEASE READ the link. A Link from Microsoft about the file and also the "hoax" is here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q322993 PLEASE READ this article also. This email is being generated and sent to anyone in your address books. The "Hoax" is within the instructions of "select all" and "delete" (You would delete all the files in your system) **If you have received this "Hoax" email, do not panic which is what the creator would hope you would do and thereby delete all your files. I can only assume anyone reading this has not deleted all there files and this shall provide a good warning of this supposed virus. I have notified persons in my address books personally as I had received one of these emails. Norton & AVG does not recognize it as a virus is correct because it is Not a virus, simply a "hoax". Any questions please call me at 614-471-5486 or email me. My computers are very safe and use (2) systems to scan automatically twice daily.
