Reinstallation of jdbgmgr.exe

[mac2]

I have fallen victim to a hoax virus alert, and deleted
the file jdbgmgr.exe

Not being computer literate I don't know how to re-install
it.

Windows XP was pre-loaded on the computer.

Any help in undoing the damage would be appreciated.

Fortunately, as hoaxes go, the effect of this one is very mild.
Yes, it was a Windows file and no, it shouldn't have been
deleted. But the file is the Java debug manager, needed only by
Java programmers. Since you're obviously not a Java programmer
(if you were, you would have known not to delete it), there's no
real harm been done. You don't need the file, and although it's
easy enough to get back, you don't need to bother.
