That is a well known hoax--the file in question is the java debug manager.
Don't delete the file.
If you later receive a "clean" copy of the file by email--that is the virus.
It is a common method of distributing several backdoor trojans.

This is a hoax virus. The file which it refers to is part
of the Windows operating system. Don't worry if you have
deleted it, it is unlikely that you will notice it
missing, it relates to running Java applications.
