I just got this email from a friend and discovered I had this virus and didn't even know it. It took me like 30 seconds to find it and delete it. Please check yours too. Thanks.

I am so sorry to be the bearer of bad news... but i think you'd rather know than to not know..., but my address book has been infected with a virus. So has yours because your address was in my book. The virus is called jdbgmgr.exe It cannot be detected by Norton or McAfee anti-virus programs. It sits quietly for 14 to 16 days before damaging the system. It is sent automatically by messenger and address book, whether or not you send emails.The good news is it is easy to get rid of.
Here's how:
1. Go to Start, then Find or Search
2. In Files/Folders,write the name jdbgmgr.exe just go to search and write the name)
3. Be sure to search in your "C" drive
4. Click Find or Search
5. The virus has a teddy bear logo with the name jdbgmgr.exe -
DO NOT OPEN
6. Right click and delete it
7. Go to the recycle bin and delete it there also by right clicking it..DONT LEFT CLICK!!! >IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS, YOU MUST CONTACT EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS Book
Again you guys, I'm really sorry for the trouble.
I fixed this in like 30 >seconds. No problem. This really was in my files so I would at least check and see if it was in yours too.

THIS IS A HOAX, DO NOT DELETE A THING!! Go to www.mcafee.com, look under hoaxes, jdbgmgr hoax is listed. That is a file needed to run the java on your computer. If you have already deleted it, there are instructions at the bottom of the hoax notice on how to restore it.
 
In case someone else hasn't already told you it's a hoax. That is actually a file for Java. Here's a link to the description and how to reinstall it.

Yea, we've had a lot of people delete that file here at work just to learn that it was a hoax. It's not an important file unless you use Microsoft Visual J++ developers.
 
Yep,It took all my cyber knowledge to fix mine.And a little help to boot.:(
