Yet again, a virus hoax posted to a message list - this program
(jdbgmgr.exe) is part of Java and should NOT be deleted!
See
http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/hoaxes/jdbgmgr.html for information on
hoaxes - or enter the 'suspect' file in a search engine, and you will soon
find information on whether or not it is a hoax!

Hello everyone,
I attach below a mail I received today. It would seem that I have been
infected by a virus and, by virtue of you being in my address book, you
probably have too, along with everyone in your address book.
I have checked my pc and the offending programme was there. I have deleted
it
with no apparent harm done, so may I suggest that you follow the
instructions as well.
Regards
John Eagle
