Just thought I'd write this so you people don't have the same problem i did, I got an email telling me that a file called jdbgmgr.exe was a virus it said to delete it and if i didn't do it within 14 days it would reak havoc in my Pc, being the dumb ******* i am i deleted it, it also told me to mail the people in my address book to tell them to delete it because the virus sent via the address book, i did this as well (sorry people in my address book, i hope i sent you an emaill quick enough to stop you from deleting it).
I wasn't totally sure what i had done so i looked it up on microsoft and shock horror it wasn't a virus it was a hoax virus, for you people that don't know what a hoax virus is I'll tell you it is an email that you get telling you a valid file is a virus. This really pissed me off :mad: . The file jdbgmgr.exe is used for developing some Java programs and will automatically restore itself on some systems on others it will not be missed (for more info go to Microsofts help site).

REMEMBER DO NOT DELETE THE FILE JDBGMGR.EXE

I hope this helped

I deleted mine so did my mate and are Pc's are alright now but go to the microsoft help site (not sure what the address is :confused: soz ) and get some more info. It shouldn't matter as long as you don't develope Java programs or something like that

Its the Java debug manager. May have problems with certain web based functions if you have deleted it. Best bet is to reinstall IE and it should put the file back :) Or if your running Win2k or XP it may have already done a system restore on the file :)
