This virus hoax about the MS WINDOWS System file jdbgmgr.exe has been

around for a while. It is not detected by Virus Scan because it is NOT a

virus. This is not a virus file but a necessary part of WINDOWS. If you

remove it, WINDOWS will lose a needed file. Most systems will replace it on

every startup, so it is a waste of time trying to get rid of it. Read about

this hoax at:
