jdbgm hoax

I received an email telling me to delete "jdbgm" files
that they were virus infected. I have since learned this
was a hoax. How do I get these files back after having
deleted them from the recycle bin.

Fortunately, as hoaxes go, the effect of this one is very mild.
Yes, it was a Windows file and no, it shouldn't have been
deleted. But the file is the Java debug manager, needed only by
Java programmers. Since you're obviously not a Java programmer
(if you were, you would have known not to delete it), there's no
real harm been done. You don't need the file, and although it's
easy enough to get back, you don't need to bother.
