Default jdbdmgr.exe is not a virus ?!?

please help, i was sent an e-mail telling me to delete
jbgdmgr.exe from my file system as it was an active
virus. I have since been told that this is actually a
safe file system and I have deleted it from the recycle
bin. How do I get it back?!! thanks

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.

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.

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.
