It's a hoax according to Symantec and McAfee.

This was sent to me by my brother -- is it legit? I found the
teddy bear icon and the fact it was an .exe file -- No I did
not open it but it is sitting in my recycle bin but before I
delete it -- I want to know if I should.
Relax -- this list is not in my address book :-)

Sorry about this, but the BlankA virus has been passed to me by
a
contact. My address book in turn was infected. 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
anti-virus systems. The virus sits quietly for 14 days
damaging the system. It is sent automatically by messenger and
by
address book whether or not you sent emails to your
contacts.
I followed the direction below, and easily eradicated the
virus. Here
is how you check for the virus and get rid of it.
1. Go to start, then sect find or search option.
2. In the file/folders option, type he name:jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure to search your C; drive and all the subfolders and
any other
drives you may have
4. Click find now.
5. The virus has a tdeey bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe.
DO NOT
OPEN IT!!
6. Go to the edit (on the menu bar), 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. EMPTY RECYCLE BIN.
IF YOU FIND THIS 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"
d. Copy this message above and paste to email.
