Unless you're a Java developer who needs to debug something, don't worry
about it. Next time you get one of those mass emails warning you about something terrible in your computer, check it out at www.snopes.com or google for it - and then let the well-meaning person who sent you the email to check their facts before needlessly causing panic. wrote: please help, i was sent an e-mail telling me to delete jbgdmgr.exe from my file system as it was an active virus.

jdbdmgr.exe is not a virus ?!?
Greetings --
This is a very, very old hoax; one of the oldest currently in circulation. If your antivirus software is current and detects nothing, you're most likely safe. Do nothing with the named file, delete the email, and tell whomever sent you the original message to check their facts before spreading rumors. Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java Is Not a Virus http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q322993 Jdbgmgr.exe file Hoax http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ven...file.hoax.html It's important to remember that almost _any_ email virus warning is a hoax, designed primarily to bog down email systems by having well-meaning but uniformed people send out hundreds of otherwise valueless email warnings. When you receive a warning like this, the *first* thing you should do is check its veracity at one or more of the following web sites: Symantec Security Response - Hoax Page http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html F-Secure Security Information Center - Hoaxes http://www.f-secure.com/virus-info/hoax/ Trend Micro Hoax Encyclopedia, alerts http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/hoaxes/hoax.asp If you did delete the file, you really haven't done much damage. This file is used by Java programmers to find errors in their code. If you don't do any Java programming, you don't really need the file.
