There's a virus hoax running around which tells you to delete this file:-
<font color=red>jdbgmgr.exe</font color=red>
Do NOT delete it.

byron is totally correct. In fact it was a hoax started by some cheeky little twit of a teenager who thought it would be funny to have millions of people deleting valid files from their operating systems. If one deletes the file it is not really damaging....as it is a development file for developers to use .....and if anyone has deleted it I believe that you can go to Microsofts site and reload it.

There is however several viruses being emailed around in the US - one of them is the .klez and the other is the "Bugbear" virus, both of which are somewhat nasty if inflicted on your hard-drive.

Reality is the cause of all stress!!
