This ones doing the rounds again, i have seen it twice on my work email today.

Description
JDBGMGR.EXE is the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java. It uses an icon of a bear.

The contents of the hoax message vary, but it advises Hotmail users of an email virus, jdbgmgr.exe, that is spreading via MSN Messenger.

This message is a hoax, dont delete the .exe file.

Had a call from my uncle and a email from his yesterday,saying that his computer was infected and so were all the people in his addy book.He'd already deleated the file and told me and everyone else in his addy book to do so BUT i checked on the find files and right clicked and it was a Debugger for microsoft windows.A look on the Macafee website told me it was a hoax!!

It was the JDB?????.exe file that he said was a virus!

He had a busy night phoneing people and telling them to NOT delete the file!!!
