Virus or not

[airdale]

Hi everyone
I received a email from a friend and he stated that there was a virus that would not be recognized by norton or mcafee.
The virus or so called is jdbgmgr.exe with a little bear aside of it .
If it is a virus how do you get rid of it
and if you delete it will it do any damage to your files. It said to go to start ,find and type jdbgmgr.exe and sure enough it is in there bear and all. If you know of this please send some information my way.

Thanks alot
airdale

It's a virus hoax, airdale. See here (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html) for more information.

Thanks GretaP

I want to thank you for your response
I did not know if it was a virus or not .
I didn't want to delete anything important

Thanks again

You're very welcome, airdale. Yes, it's a good idea to check on these "viruses" for which you receive information via email from friends, as they usually do turn out to be hoaxes.
