Before you do anything, please read this webpage.  This is a sometime virus
hoax.  http://vmyths.com/hoax.cfm?id=275&page=3

That particular exe file is a Java developer file.  If a user has Visual J++
1.x installed but JDBGMGR.EXE is missing, the net result would be that some
Java programs wouldn't run. In all other cases, there would be no effect
from deleting the file.

Hope this helps before everyone goes about deleting a file that isn't
infected.

I received this message today and sure enough, the virus was there.

My computer had a virus, and as
a result, so has yours because your address is in my book. The virus is
called jdbgmgr.exe It cannot be detected by Norton or McAfee Anti-virus
programs. It sits quietly for about 14 days before damaging the system.

It is sent automatically by messenger and address book, whether or not you
send email. I was unsure if I had this virus, but sure enough I did. Please
do this right away.

The good news  is that it is easy to get rid of! Just follow these simple
steps and you should have no problem1. Go to Start, then Find or Search
2. In files/folders, write the name jdbgmgr.exe
3.Be sure to search in your "C" drive for jdbgmgr.exe
4. click Find or Search
5. The virus has a teddy bear logo with the name jdbgmgr.exe  DO NOT OPEN
THE FILE
6. RIGHT click and delete it
7. Go to the recycle bin and delete it there also. IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS,
YOU MUST CONTACT EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK. (You may want to just cut
and paste this email, replacing your name for mine and send it out)  Sorry
for all the trouble, but this is something I had no control over. I received
it by someone else's address book, just as you may have received it from me
and
also you may have uncontrollably sent it to those in your address book.
Sorry about this everyone, It was very easy to find and delete. Just
received this from one
of my friends and sure enough I followed the steps and the virus was there.
Please do the same, I deleted mine and had no damage......

A Business Associates forwarded this to me since he must have emailed some
time ago which infected my computer.  Check yours and forward this to all
those in your address book if you have it.
