No one should EVER delete a file on the say so of an
email from an unknown or even known source without
first checking with your virus protector.



From: http://www.norton.com

Symantec Security Response encourages you to ignore
any messages regarding this hoax. It is harmless and
is intended only to cause unwarranted concern.
Type: Hoax

This hoax, like the SULFNBK.EXE Warning hoax, tries to
encourage you to delete a legitimate Windows file from
your computer. Jdbgmgr.exe is the file to which the
hoax refers, and it is the Microsoft Debugger
Registrar for Java. The Jdbgmgr.exe file may be
installed when you install Windows.
