This information is so old. It is false! False! This is not a virus, never has been, never will be. What is amazing is that there are humans that still pass this trash on.

Hi Listers, The text below is a reprint from a site (one of many) that debunks these hoaxes. Ken in NH =========================================== Comments: This is a particularly diabolical hoax because, like the SULFNBK.EXE hoax of 2001, it persuades gullible users to inflict damage on their own computers. Don't forward these messages! According to antivirus experts (see links below), JDBGMGR.EXE is a standard Windows utility file - it's supposed to be on your computer - and unless you have very good reason to believe you might have downloaded an infected copy of the file (which is possible, but unlikely), leave it alone. If you happen to be one of those unfortunates who followed instructions and deleted the harmless file, don't despair - it's not absolutely critical to the operation of your computer. See the commentary by our resident About.com antivirus guru Mary Landesman for technical details. Last updated: 01/10/03
