Sorry folks, this is a hoax, not a virus. jdbgmgr.exe is a normal part of the software on your computer (though not a vitally important programme, if you do happen to have deleted it). The hoax just has enormous nuisance value because people pass on the "warning" message to everyone they know. Please always check out these kinds of warnings before passing them on.
