Folks, this is a hoax. Go to the following site and read about it.
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html
When you get these various warnings, before you jump on the bandwagon,
check it out and prevent unnecessary damage to your software and needless
aggravation. The easiest way to check it out is to open a search engine
and look for the virus by name. You will get numerous hits leading you to
sites that specialize in viruses and hoaxes.
