Remember to check with a site like http://www.symantec.com/avcenter

before posting about viruses. Like most virus warnings these days, it is a
hoax - according to Symantec:

This is a hoax that, like the
<http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning
.html> 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.
