What is jdbg.exe? A worm?

[Tom]

I got an automated e-mail from a friend who didn't know he
had sent it. What it said is to search and delete all
the jdbg.exe files. But what are they for? Do I need
them? is this true? Should I remove them? Has any one
heard of this before?
Thanks for your input.

If you check Google then you will see countless references to
jdbg.exe. The EMail is a hoax. Ignore it. Here are some sites
that list hoax viruses:
