jdbgmgr.exe

I recieved an e-mail from a friend that said he had a
virus that could not be detected by Norton or Megafree
antivirus systems. IT said to go to start and search C
and all sub folders. And that it had a teddy bear icon.
Then to delete and empty bin. I found seven files that
indicate they have this in the text or name of the file.
I do not have a delete in my edit menu and do not know if
these are real files or a virus. Please assist me.

Greetings --

This is a very old hoax. If your antivirus software is current
and detects nothing, you're safe. Do nothing with the named file,
delete the email, and tell whomever sent you the original message to
check their facts before spreading rumors.

It's important to remember that almost _any_ email virus warning
is a hoax, designed primarily to bog down email systems by having
well-meaning but uniformed people send out hundreds of otherwise
valueless email warnings. When you receive a warning like this, the
*first* thing you should do is check its veracity at one or more of
the following web sites:
