"jdbg" virus

[Jay]

is the file "jdbg.exe" in the "jdbgm" folder in window a
windows file? I was told these files contained a virus
and to delete them if when found they had a picture of a
teddy bear, for real on the left. I found 2 files and
deleted them and was later told that the files were
critical and should not be deleted. Help. If I need
these files how do I restore them?

No, its a hoax. jdbgmgr.exe is a jenuine WinXP file.

You've been the victim of an old and widespread hoax.

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.
