The following is from the Symantec virus encyclopedia at
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.
hoax.html Symantec is a recognized authority on viruses.
This is a common type of hoax; every month or so, someone is urging me to
remove from my hard drive some exe file or other. If you do so, you will
find that something unexpected in your Windows won't work anymore.

This is a hoax that, like the 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.
It has a teddy bear icon as described in the hoax:
