To reassure those of you who did follow the instructions in the hoax:

If you have already deleted the jdbgmgr.exe file, in most cases, you do not
need to re-install it. The following quote is extracted from the Microsoft
Knowledge Base article,
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q322993>Virus
Hoax: Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java (Jdbgmgr.exe) Is Not a Virus
(Q322993<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q322993>;)

"The Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java (Jdbgmgr.exe) is only used by
Microsoft Visual J++ 1.1 developers. If you follow the e-mail message
instructions and delete this file, you do not have to recover it unless you
use Microsoft Visual J++ 1.1 to develop Java programs on Windows XP,
Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows 98, or Windows 95."

If you do need to restore this file, follow the instructions in the link above.
