    While this original post is "off topic", I just thought I'd pass the
    following along from McAfee in case someone decides to delete this file
    (and hasn't taken the time to actually check on this themselves) ...
    
    
    AVERT HOAX Notice!!
    
    McAfee AVERT Labs would like to inform you of a new email HOAX.
    
    This email message is just a HOAX. Although, the JDBGMGR.EXE file may 
    become infected by a number of valid viruses (most commonly 
    W32/Magistr@MM), the details of this HOAX message are not based on
    actual 
    events.
    
    We are advising users who receive the email to delete the message and DO 
    NOT pass it on as this is how an email HOAX propagates.
    
    JDBGMGR.EXE is the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java. In the event 
    that this file has already been deleted, see the Removal Instructions 
    on how to restore this file.
    
    Instructions are at
    http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99436#RemovalInstructions
    
    Go to bottom of the page.
