I went to the Norton Anti Virus (Symantec) and the McAfee Anti Virus home pages and they both stated that the jbdgmgr.exe virus is a hoax.
Here is what they had to say:
This is a hoax that, like the SULFNBK.EXE Warning hoax, tries to persuade you to delete a legitimate Windows file from your computer. The file that the hoax refers to, Jdbgmgr.exe, is a Java Debugger Manager. It is a Microsoft file that is installed when you
install Windows.
It has a teddy bear icon as described in the hoax
It goes on to tell what you need to do if you DID delete your Jdbgmgr.exe file.
Sincerely,
Becky Pyland Davis
