Re: Possible Virus

The following is from the Urban Legends Reference Pages. To learn more go to 
http://www.snopes.com/ and type JDBGMGR.EXE in the search box. 

>>... this bogus virus warning (also known as the "Bear Virus") attempts to 
lure gullible users into deleting perfectly innocuous, standard Windows files 
from their systems. In this case the target file is JDBGMGR.EXE, a Java Debug 
Manager program used by the Microsoft Java runtime engine. This file is 
included as part of a standard Windows installation and is not a "virus." If 
you deleted this file, don't sweat it -- JDBGMGR.EXE is only important to 
programmers who use Microsoft Visual J++ 1.1 to develop Java programs. Its 
absence will not cause your PC to stop working or interfere with your 
applications, so if you're not a Java developer, you don't have to worry 
about restoring it. Consider the experience a lesson learned about the perils 
of believing and acting upon unverified e-mail warnings.<<
