jdbgmgr.exe
Is this a virus or not? i was sent the following e-mail by a friend:
but i have since recieved another e-mail off somebody else saying not to delete it as it is not a virus, but a program within the system to try and reduce the risk of getting a virus. As a result i am vvvvvv confused, is it a virus or not? 
TIA
This may or may not affect you - but I'd try it anyway just incase.
I HAVE JUST RECEIVED A VIRUS THAT AUTOMATICALLY IS PASSED THROUGH EMAIL ADDRESS BOOKS. Since you are in my address book, you will probably find it in your computer too. The virus (called jdbg.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee Anti-Virus systems. The virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent automatically by messenger and by address book, whether or not you sent e-mail to your contacts. Here is how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it. PLEASE DO THIS ASAP (IT WILL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE).
Go to Start, then click your Find or Search option
In the folder option, type the name jdbgm
Be sure to search your C Drive and all the s up folders and any other drives you may have
Click Find Now
The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe Do not open it!
Go to Edit (on the menu bar) and choose Select All to highlight the file without opening it.
Now go to File (on the menu bar) and select delete.
It will then go to the recycle bin.

hoax email, do not delete jdbmgr.exe, its a windows system fle or something. IIRC, deleting it will give you problems with Internet Explorer....or something like that.
do a google for the filename, you'll find loads of info.
