If you received the message to delete the teddy bear icon:
Antivirus do not detect it because it is a hoax.

It is VERY IMPORTANT to run an updated virus scan once this issue is
resolved to ensure your computer is virus free.
Also run an updated virus scan at least weekly to reduce your chances
of getting a virus to near zero.
Forward these links to your friends that may have the same issue.

Following recent hoax virus warning I inadvertently
deleted Jdbgmgr.exe.
MSN says that they do not support it anymore and that
also that I do not need to re-install it!In attempting to
obtain any info on the issue I seem to be going round in
circles within the MSN Support Centre
I have since discovered that I now need to re-install it
I would appreciate any assistance anyone can give on how
I go about it
Later
