It's a hoax. The file mentioned is part of the Windows OS. Do not delete it!! For proof here is the listing for the CAB file that contains the file --> http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q191058

Keep up with viruses/trojans/hoaxes/etc.. at http://www.nai.com

Be careful not to forward on hoaxes as you are doing exactly what the hoaxers want!

last one!

The NAI link to the description of the hoax includes, at the bottom, the method for restoring the jdbgmgr.exe file in case it has been deleted so all is not lost.

Going home now.

Nothing will happen until something is run on your PC that requires that file (some sort of Java de-bugger). It will only ever happen in the background.

Your best bet is to follow the instructions in the NAI web site for restoring that file.

I've received a few e-mails like this but ignored them coz the names were'nt ringing any bells to me. but i've just checked my mail and i've received a couple more one of which was from Rancid. i've just ignored them(nothing personal Rancid) but i'm curious if anyone else is getting these mails still.

The hoax will continue to bounce around for a while then slowly die away only to come back a few months later.

The best thing you can do is confirm it's a hoax then break the chain by not forwarding on any warnings.
