The Virus prank anyone have the file to reinstall

[matty]

I fell for a prank and permanently deleted the jdbgmgr.exe
file. Do I need to reinstall it for Windows XP Home
edition to work properly? and if so can you send it to me?
Thanks

***There are two variants of this, one is not a hoax***

If you received the message to delete the teddy bear icon:
Antivirus do not detect it because it is a hoax.
Whenever you get an E-Mail like that, check this link, near the bottom
in Reference Area, click on Hoaxes:
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/

For Windows XP:
Go to this link, line 48 "Replace jdbgmgr.exe" to replace jdbgmgr.exe:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Place it in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory.

For Windows 98/98SE:
Insert the Windows 98 CD.
Close any box that opens.
Start/Run
Type "SFC", press Enter.
Place bullet in "Extract..."
Type "jdbgmgr.exe" in the "Specify... box
Restore from "*:\WIN98" (*=CD Drive)
Save file in "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM"

There is also a Trojan called "jasmin".
The trojan takes advantage of this well known hoax
The Teddy bear icon is correct, the screwdriver is the virus file.
See these links for more details:

It is VERY IMPORTANT to run an updated virus scan once this issue is
resolved to ensure your computer is virus free.
Also run an updated virus scan at least weekly to reduce your chances
of getting a virus to near zero.
Forward these links to your friends that may have the same issue.

You won't need the file, don't worry about it.
