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.

Jdbgmgr.exe file Hoax

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:
Symantec Security Response - Hoax Page
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html
F-Secure Security Information Center - Hoaxes

Trend Micro Hoax Encyclopedia, alerts
