Although, the JDBGMGR.EXE file may become infected by a number of valid viruses (most commonly W32/Magistr@MM <http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_99040.htm>), the details of this HOAX message are not based on actual events. We are advising users who receive the email to delete the message and DO NOT pass it on as this is how an email HOAX propagates. JDBGMGR.EXE is the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java.
