Hi, this virus is a hoax, the file forms a part of your windows system
(hence it is located on your C drive and is an .exe file). A friend of mine
did some checking up on it, read on if you wish to find out more.

Hello all. I'm Ian, Judy & Rob's son.

I did a little checking and..... sorry this is a Hoax. A number of people I
know have fallen for it. The file that it talks about is not a Virus at all,
but part of the Windows system it self. The hoax has appeared in several
languages.

If you don't think I'm right please check :-

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html

 or do a search on Google or other search engine for jdbgmgr.exe

This is from the security site listed above:

This is a hoax that, like the SULFNBK.EXE Warning hoax, tries to persuade
you to delete a legitimate Windows file from your computer. The file that
the hoax refers to, Jdbgmgr.exe, is a Java Debugger Manager. It is a
Microsoft file that is installed when you install Windows.
