Symantec Security Response encourages you to ignore any messages
regarding this hoax. It is harmless and is intended only to cause
unwarranted concern.
Type: Hoax
This hoax, like the SULFNBK.EXE Warning hoax, tries to encourage you to
delete a legitimate Windows file from your computer. Jdbgmgr.exe is the
file to which the hoax refers, and it is the Microsoft Debugger
Registrar for Java. The Jdbgmgr.exe file may be installed when you
install Windows.

Sorry but unfortunately a virus has been passed on to me by a friend.
Since you are in my address book,
There is a good chance you will find it in your computer too.
The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee
antivirus
systems.
The virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system.
It is sent automatically by messenger and by the address book,
Whether or not you sent e-mail to your contacts.
Here`s how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it:
1. Go to start, find or search option.
2. In the file folder option, type the name jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure you search your c: drive and all subfolders and any other
drives
you may have.
4. click "find now"
5. The Virus has a Teddy Bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe DO NOT OPEN
IT
!!!
6. Go to edit (on the menu bar) and choose "select all" to highlight the
file without opening it.
7. Now go to File ( on the menu bar) and select delete. It will then go
to
the recycle bin.
8. IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS YOU MUST CONTACT ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS
BOOK, SO THEY CAN ERADICATE IT IN THEIR OWN ADDRESS BOOKS.
To do this:
a. Open a new e-mail message
b. Click the icon of the address book next to the "TO"
c. Highlight every name and add to "BCC" (which means blind copy)
d. Copy this message and paste to e-mail
