It’s another Hoax

You have probably seen the recent email warning instructing you and other PC users to delete the JDBGMGR.EXE file because it is, in fact, a virus that is “neither detected by Norton nor by McAfee.” Big surprise again folks just like some earlier warning involving of the SULFNBK.EXE warning of last year. It’s a sham these warnings are bogus.

The file isn’t a virus. It is Microsoft’s Java Debugger Manager, a file that is a regular part of Windows. Deleting the file won’t hurt Windows, but it could very well cause some Java applets — like Yahoo games — to just up and stop working.
