That virus is a hoax. jdbgmgr.exe is a valid file, although not very necessary. Here is a link Symantec

Breathe ,Donnie,Breathe ,Its gonna be okay!!!!!!!!!!!

[cheatham]

Well, I don't know if it is going to fly to crap or not But that file won't cause it. Even if you have deleted it already, don't worry about it, you probably will never need it anyway (just like that can of nuts and bolts that just appear after doing some work on the truck.)

Yep, its a hoax. You can tell because its never as simple as deleting one lousy file to get rid of a virus. A similar hoax went around not too long ago.

Donnie, what anti-virus software are you running? I use McAfee Anti-virus and Mcafee Firewall. I purchased mine online for $9.95 +shipping. It comes with a full year of updates, and in my opinion well worth the costs. I manage a call center where we do Desktop and Internet support and we get calls like this all the time. Below is a link to one of the many websites that offer the McAfee software, I just checked it and they now have it for $6.00 + shipping. There are many anti-virus software packages out there and it is mostly personal preference to which one you choose. But my suggestion is that you get one and keep it up to date.
